Most of it should work in theory™, but the most testing I did was to make sure that we could get past the configure.ac file, but I made some changes afterwards. I know what shouldn't work for sure is appbuilder, dthelp and dtinfo, they use some imake magic that is pretty complex, makedepend also doesnt work, not because i couldnt, but because I was thinking we would do it at the compiler level when it came time for a merge and it wouldn't be necessary. I seemed to have never written a Makefile for programs/utils/dttypes (I did this a while ago, Ive been spending recent efforts on trying to import a new version of ksh).
