The preprocessor is your friend!  Put "#define fork() bs2000_fork()" into
port-bs2000.h, then add your magic bs2000_fork function in port-bs2000.c. 
We do something similar with signal/mysignal in bsd-misc.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
