Thanks, I'll go through them.

Are you using /usr/xpg4/bin/tail then?
The /usr/bin/tail on Solaris 10 doesn't have -n.  This -n happens in the 
top_patch()
function.

Hmm, I wonder what other goodies I'll find in /usr/xpg4?

I ported the one from util-linux-2.12q :)  Brute force...icky.

I like a lot of the things I see in your config-misc.diff.  The getopt.in is 
worth
arguing over, but the autoconf-related @CMD@ pieces shouldn't be a problem.  I 
think
your tac(1) substitute shouldn't need the map function, though.
