usleep is indeed an insidious ghost.  several X programs will not compile
because it is missing.  it is quite frustrating.

Has anyone exorcised the other bad ghost on the MIPS and SGI machines
(and, really, all system V machines with looser "most BSD" stuff) which
is the different pseudo tty scheme?

I would LLLLOOOOVVVVEEEE it if someone were to post a port of "screen"
to the MIPS and SGI machines.
