I suppose I'd better say that I am not in favour of putting what is 
quite a large amount of code into the main source, just to support a 
very few hosts that use a doubly non-standard facility that was 
standardized at least 6 years ago. A non-trivial amount of documentation 
would also be needed. I say "doubly non-standard" because what I might 
call "singly non-standard" hosts seem to be handled by the configuration
hack, so the hosts causing the problem under discussion are (apparently)
even more non-standard. 

Hmm. I wonder what units are used to measure non-standardness? There's a 
Christmas competition question for you... :-)
