After some very nice notes from a number of people, it became clear that
xtank might be a nice environment for people to do some "competition"
program writing using C. So I have downloaded and tried to build xtank,
but the problem seems to be that there are no implementations for the
"thread" parts for the sun4 in the distribution stuff. 

So I am asking, has anyone successfully built xtank on a Sparc-1, unix
4.0.3, X11R4? If so, I would appreciate a note and any hints you might
have. Thanks, if this works out in class I'll drop a note and let
everyone know how it goes.
