Alrighty, here's my final version of the patch:
	It no longer uses '-fpic' -- only '-fPIC'
	It still compiles twice - with and without large branch pic
	It uses a variant on standard unix versioning that stays
	  in sync with the st version, but addresses the api concerns.

To apply: you need a clean tree, Gene's config.guess patch (re-attached),
and finally my patch: (note the different -px options)

tar xvzf st-1.3c.tar.gz
cd st-1.3c
patch -p0 < ~/st-1.3-guess.patch
patch -p1 < ~/st-1.3-pkg.patch

If you don't want the scripts to package the project in the upstream
version, follow this with:

rm -rf debian st.spec

Leaving the spec file in the tar.gz is probably a good plan. 
redhat/mandrake users can then use: 'rpm -ta st-1.3.tar.gz' which is much
more convenient than having to hunt for the spec file on the net.

The debian/ directory is not really necessary if st gets into debian main,
since then it could be recreated by maintainer patches, but it's kinda nice
to have it available: 'cd st-1.3; debuild'
