I agree that the UNIX System V "lint -p" is not very useful to me either.
However, it would perhaps be useful in the near future for "lint" (no -p)
to check for inter-POSIX portability and for "lint -p" to check for inter-
X3.159 (ANSI C) portability, since those will be the two major vendor-
independent portable environments of interest.
