Thankyou for your answer.  I'm new at dealing with these sorts of things.  I guess the question
is, how do we get ./configure to do what we want?  It's not important to me how autoconfig dose
it's thing.  I just would like to make sure that if I use Xshm.h and for OSXYZ I also need to use
strings.h or something, that it gets done.
