Yeah... I'm definitely fine with avoiding duplication of effort.

It might make sense to make two interfaces. One that's fully OO and one that's more C/posix like.

jna-posix started out pretty simple, but it quickly became apparent we'd need better smarts for it to work across platform. I'd like to avoid duplicating effort too, so maybe your library could be folded into jna-posix? Really it would just need to have a class full of static methods that use a global POSIX instance from jna-posix. Then you're essentially done, and jna-posix will handle all the platform selection, etc.

I saw that one eventually.... I took the approach to make everything static imports so the API is a bit more like Posix.....

They should also make it with a tar.gz, etc...... either way, my implementation is like 100 lines of code so I'm not super worried about duplicated effort right now :)
