Has anyone done any work on porting ATK to *any* SVR4-derived UNIX?  If
so, and if there's more than one place where it's being done, perhaps
the people doing it should get together on that (I can easily imagine
person A porting it to some PClone running SVR4-for-i386, and person B
porting it to Solaris 2.x, and person A and person B having no idea that
the other's doing it).

Note that the right way to do the dynamic linking stuff for SVR4 is
probably to grab the SunOS 4.1[.x] version of the dynamic linking code
and proceeding from there (the "dlopen()"/"dlsym()"/etc. interface was
actually invented by AT&T, although they never released any
implementation until SVR4; Sun just used AT&T's interface for SunOS
4.1[.x]), rather than trying to teach the "do it yourself" code about
ELF (the main reason I did the version that used "dlopen()" and company
was to *keep* people from trying to teach the do-it-yourself version
about ELF).

You will probably also want to change the pseudo-tty handling code in
"typescript" and "tm" to use SVR4-style pseudo-ttys.
