Hi Alex,

In my next patch set (for system calls), I've generally been ordering
POSIX.1-1988/1990 relative to BSD and SV according to their release
years as specified in standards(7).  Which gives the following relative
ordering between SV and POSIX.1:

SVr1
SVr2
SVr3
	POSIX.1-1988
SVr4
	POSIX.1-1990
SVID 4

And the following relative ordering between BSD and POSIX.1:

3BSD
4BSD
4.1BSD
4.2BSD
4.3BSD
	POSIX.1-1988
	POSIX.1-1990
4.4BSD

Because many of the system calls I updated listed SVr4, and some listed
4.4BSD, I want to check that it makes sense to list them after
POSIX.1-1988.  In case, for example, SVr4 is known to have influenced
POSIX.1-1988 prior to being officially released.

(I've also taken your recommendation and am trying out mutt(1), starting
with this email.  It's certainly a learning curve, but I'm slowly
getting there!)

Take care,
