10.3.x ships with BSM and looks to be compiled in by default, but is is
not active on the OS/X desktop by default.  This may not be the case for
OS/X Server version.

In any respects, I dont see any manpages on the topic which makes me less
inclined to suggest any official support for that platform.

However, it may be something to consider and ensure BSM is more general if
Apple is also planning on using it.

I honestly don't care to see these session.c mods.  I really only care
about the Makefile change at this point.
