The auto-configure script doesn't work under 1.3, either.  Also, it requires
awk to finish.  I have been fiddling with the script to take into consideration
various MINIX quirks (like no .o files - which the vanilla configure script
looks for when extracting names from the library), but in order to make it
fully functional, I will need a MINIX version of awk.  Does one exist?  If so,
where can I get a copy from?  (Via annonymous uucp or by e-mail only - I am not
on Internet and can't use ftp - sigh :-)

Thanks - I'll post my changes to patch once I get it working - and I will mail
a copy of them to Larry for inclusion in the 'master copy', if he wants to add
the stuff.

Cheers,
