Modern BSDs should match features. I'm not so sure about field names,
and figure that somebody will come up with a patch if necessary.

Porting to the old BSDs is probably not worth the trouble. You'd have
to effectively duplicate the kernel socket code in userspace. It's
easier to add unix domain magic to the old BSDs than to add this to Y.
