> and of course, you will need to add what #ifdef's

Perhaps this is the right time to bring up something that has always given me
an icky feeling... fxposix.ri and rposix.r are now horribly and ridiculously
bloated. My fault, of course; I started out with ifdefs so of course everyone
followed! I just assumed that POSIX is POSIX, and any system-dependent stuff
could be easily handled that way. Of course life isn't that easy -- hence the
masses of ifdefs.

I think what we should do is split up those files in a system-dependent
manner. Windows stuff should definitely be separated from Unix -- and perhaps
Cygwin from Windows. I think the BSDs and Linux could share a file -- but
maybe not.

Since we're in the throes of autoconf pain anyway, this would be the right
time to make a large sweeping change of the sort I suggest. Any opinions?

-s

(Or will autoconf allow us to get rid of that mass of ifdefs?)
