Thanks, but there wasn't really anything in all that. Just thought I'd
knock off some compiler warnings and errors on various platforms. It's
always a little slow going when you have to make sure you understand
exactly how everything works before changing anything...

Yeah, that's why I was inquiring about your thoughts on autoconf and
friends the other week. I don't think the current system is really
sustainable as it is; it coped with you developing on OpenBSD and then
hacking it to work on Solaris, but with me developing on Darwin, Brett on
FreeBSD, and the threat of Linux always hanging over one's head, we
probably need some more proactive portability to save headaches as the
number of platforms (and of developers) increases.

Anyway, enough joy for now.

Later,

Ian
