only half of it - made a second case that worked with the 20010305
version, which 3-4 people have reported doesn't work for them (mainly
Solaris ;-).

I'll have to make a configure check for this, but ran into a complication:
the 20010305 installed a header that had a prototype for exit()
inconsistent with autoconf 2.13, and I debated whether to repair 2.49d
(which breaks a lot of other stuff) enough to test it with this (since
it is claimed to have better C++ tests), but got sidetracked into fixing
more immediate bugs.

(I'll start fresher on this weekend, maybe get something better done)
