Has anyone managed to ksh-i running properly on an sgi machine?  I tried it and
the makefiles assumed (somewhat correctly) that it was being compiled on a
System V machine.  They happily churned along and produced a ksh that worked
correctly but didn't have job control.  The code has ALL Berkeley (not just
the job control code) #ifdef'ed with "BSD".  I'm about to dive into it to see
if I can fake it into compiling a System V version with Berkeley job control
and I thought I'd check to see if someone else might've already done the job
for me.

Hopefully I won't have this problem when we get ksh88.
