I don't think any platform-dependent modules should be in the SDK.  I
would advocate one of the following:

1) A platform-independent interface be developed for this
functionality, that just happens not to work on many platforms, or

2) Not including this in the SDK.

Also I seem to recall at one point we had talked about having
different SDK's for different platforms, plus one that was
platform-non-specific?
