Perhaps. I don't see any case #2s at the moment (except for where we
explicitly #include the relevant header, but if we do, we'd obviously
need another header.

What I don't believe, though, is that it should be part of "config.h".
That's a header file for a different purpose, AFA I'm concerned. It's
not the idea of two system-dependency headers that bothers me, it's
making config.h dependent on them, and then additionally not putting the
header in the same location as config.h.

Agreed. And I expect that, between Automake and Gnulib, I've broken a
number of things.

Steven Schweda has started some testing on Tru64, and uncovered some
interesting quirks; some of them look like flaws I've introduced, and
others are bugginess in the Tru64 environment itself. It's proving very
helpful. :)
