I reworked Gennady's umid OS abstraction patch because the code shouldn't
be moved entirely to os.  As it turns out, I moved most of it anyway.  This
patch is the minimal one needed to move the code and have it work.
It turns out that the concept of the umid is OS-independent, but
almost everything else about the implementation is OS-dependent.

This is code movement without cleanup - a follow-on patch tidies
everything up without shuffling code around.
