Hi!

I was wondering why certain parts of your code referenced memchr,
memcpy, etc even though I specifically told the make process that
I have a BSD machine.  My suspicion is that sun machines have them
even though they are primarily BSD based (or used to be anyway).

Luckily I had an ATT compatibility library running around and
after throwing that at it the compiler was happy.  Is there a
compile switch to get around this or was it just an oversight?
(In any case...thanks....I love epoch!)
