Description

Perhaps also consider removing #ifdef UNIX so we can have a single MSIL based universal package (although still requires platform specific .NET runtime)

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating PS7 Native API usages, the assembly dependency, and #ifdef UNIX guards; then assess the .NET API or P/Invoke alternatives and the universal-package constraint. Done means the dependency is removed without losing the required platform-specific runtime support.
