For those of you not on the CVS list, I just committed a rather large change to the perl6 compiler that implements a subset of the A6 subroutine signature rules.

Hmm, this still fails on AIX, since the guard (PARROT_HAS_HEADER_SYSSOCKIO) and the header (sys/socket.h) don't match. I don't have sys/sockio.h, but sys/socket.h is required to prevent the same sizeof(incomplete type) error that Michael reported. There's no $Config{i_syssocket}, though, so it
