The new lorenz screensaver in 0.8.3 doesn't build on Solaris, since its
"time" variable conflicts with the system time() function.
The errors reported by the Sun compiler:
"lorenz.cpp", line 68: Error: Multiple declaration for time.
"lorenz.cpp", line 245: Error: Formal argument t of type float in call to coords_
at_time(float*, float, float*, float*, float*) is being passed extern "C" long(*)
(long*).
"lorenz.cpp", line 246: Error: The operation "extern "C" long(*)(long*) + int" is
illegal.
"lorenz.cpp", line 247: Error: The operation "extern "C" long(*)(long*) + int" is

"lorenz.cpp", line 305: Error: The operation "extern "C" long(*)(long*) + int" is

"lorenz.cpp", line 488: Error: The operand "time" cannot be assigned to.
"lorenz.cpp", line 546: Error: The operand "*time" cannot be assigned to.
The attached patch is what we're using in the OpenSolaris packages to
resolve this, by renaming the time variable to "time_n" (for lack of a
better name).
