Compiling cfengine 2.0.4 on HP-UX 11.0

When I went to compile cfengine 2.0.4, I ran into a bit
of trouble, but finally blundered my way into making it
work.

First, I installed the gcc toolset - including gcc, binutils,
gmake, autoconf, automake, libtool, ...

However, I initially used HP make, and found that this was
a mistake.

Then I found that the compiler tried to compile snprintf.c,
instead of using the HP snprintf.  I haven't tracked that to
its source; I just modified the snprintf.c source to reflect
the fact that snprintf.c is present.

Then I discovered the following:

  * -g is a BAD option on HP-UX, since debugging stuff is not
    understood by HP-UX tools (according to gcc docs)

  * -lPW turned out to be a mistake; removing it from configure
    made things like properly.

  * I added -ldld; did I have to?

  * I also made sure to set MAKE=/usr/local/bin/gmake and
    CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc

After doing all that, it finally worked.  Now to compile RPM and
make an RPM out of it....
