A couple of things have broken in the process (BATCHFILE in server/batch.c
needs to be changed to BATCH_FILE).  Also, on line 373 in that same file,
the code makes reference to a variable "s" that should be btch.name (in fact,
Geoff's code had a meaningful error message at that place, which is now gone).
I'm not providing context diffs as I expect an official one to come soon...

Also, while common/clientlib.c compiles under SunOS 4.0.3, it no longer does
under vanilla SunOS 3.5 because of references to h_addr_list (line 203).  I
took the easy way out and linked with the 4.3BSD network include files and
resolver libraries, so I don't have a fix to offer for that one.
