I'm in the process of attempting to recompile MicroEmacs 3.11 to make some
changes (remove mouse support so I can use within a CLI, for one).  The
source code appears to expect Mark Williams C, but I'm using Sozobon (also
have Alcyon).  So far I've seen two compilation (haven't tried linking yet)
errors: the structure DMABUFFER is expected in stat.h, the Sozobon stat.h
doesn't reference it, and "aesbind.h" is expected, which also isn't in the
Sozobon or dlibs distribution.  Any ideas how these can be compensated for
or where I might find AES bindings (are they in another .h file?)

What other things should I watch for when porting from one variant of C to
another, especially when I don't have documentation for the original target?
