POSIX is outsite of the scope of ReactOS at this point. Sometime soon we are going to fix CoLinux working on ReactOS and then if you need Unix like applications you can just run Linux on top of ReactOS.

Have you ever planed to have a "POSIX" root folder? i.e. a folder like c:\POSIX which contains "bin" "usr" "etc" ... And why don't you ship mingw/msys in that folder with all standard reactos distributions ?
Because:
- It is the first step for developing reactos in reactos ...
- All unix-like applications can be installed there and will not
have to create each time their own POSIX tree. 3) It is to be ready to a massive port of gnu softwares that don't need a full POSIX compliant OS. 4) It is mandatory for a future POSIX subsystem. 5) It is cool and sexy.
