I've been poking at IV 3.1 Beta 3 for some time now, trying to get it
to build on my system ( a Sun SS 2, OS 4.1.2, Sun C++).  My latest
tangle is with the include file osfcn.h.  I've never heard of this
file before.  I've run a "find" on every include subdirectory I can
think of, and don't see it mentioned anywhere.

I pulled the mail archive off of interviews.stanford.edu and grepped
for it in there.  One of the messages noted the very same problem,
but no solution was mentioned for the Sun.  Another reference in there
makes me think that osfcn.h is used to define "getwd", which on my
system at least is defined in stdlib.h.

I've created a stub osfcn.h that pulls in stdlib.h.  Is that sufficient?

If other people have encountered this, why is there no mention of it
in the FAQ (at least in my version)?
