#71 HPUX 11.0: config.guess (+fix)

In config.guess, the C code to detect the CPU version is not always invoked:
the shell-script 'case' expression is a little too picky about model numbers
(here we have a 9000/898, which is not covered).

Best solution (I think)
is to try the sysconf test for ANY model numbers (once 3xx/4xx have been
checked).

I can report that with this change, cscope 15.3 will configure
and build fine on hppa2.0n-hp-hpux11.00 provided you use:

rm
config.cache
configure --with-vcurses
make CPPFLAGS=-
DYYCHAR_ARRAY

(the libHcurses kludge from HP-UX 10.20 is not needed)

    detect _SC_CPU_VERSION for any HP 9000/7xx or 8xx

    config.guess is not maintained by us, the cscope team. It's
    a file made and maintained by project GNU, as a part of GNU
    automake.

    I've updated config.guess to the automake-1.4-p5 version.
    That should fix this. Could you please confirm that, so we
    can close this?

    I can confirm that config.guess from am-1.4-p5 fixes this problem.
