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:
1) It is the first step for developing reactos in reactos ...
2) 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.
