In article <m0jo7O1-0003F9C@meepmeep.pcs.com>, jkh@meepmeep (Jordan K.
Hubbard) writes stuff about Minix & what should be done.

I'll add one thing.  It's real boooring to patch all the GNU & other
stuff for include files and cripple them with #ifdef MINIX #then
include <foo.h> #otherwise #include <bar.h> and such.

So, I hear 1.6.something is quite near POSIX.  How about getting the
1.6.something library running on top of 1.5h so everyone could be
doing something useful (like saying #ifdef POSIX instead of #ifdef
MINIX, otherwise doing the same as above ;-) instead of endless
munging with the include files to make them compatible with an
obsolete Minix version.
