Doing compiles without the "fixed" include files produces many ANSI
compliance errors.  'sed' failed to make proper changes in many files,
and this is also causing problems.  The 'fixincludes' script finds
that MOST of the include files are NOT ANSI compliant.

I am just beginning to discover what works and doesn't on 386bsd, and
I may still be missing something.  Any suggestions are appreciated.
