I got it running; it was essential for me since all my sources from
Suns & Vaxen were RCS'd with the new stuff. I don't remember it being
very difficult to set up.

Ah. Looking at it, my version just claims to be version 4. I guess
that means 4.0. Last touch on the sources is December 6, 1988. I
didn't change any of the source files. Here's a cc line from the
make output:

cc -O -DV4_2BSD -bsd -DSIGNAL_TYPE=int -DSTRICT_LOCKING=1 -DDIFF='"/bin/diff"' -DCO='"/usr/bin/co"' -DMERGE='"/usr/bin/merge"'

Note that ordinarily signal() is defined as void on the NeXT, but you need the
"-bsd" flag to get a lot of the code compiled, and setting that also gets you
the int definition instead.
