Oleo 1.0 installation report

This pertains to GNU Oleo 1.0 installation, using GNU C 1.41 under
COFF encapsulation, on a 386/ix 2.0.2 system, waiting for Hurd :-).
This is only a partial report, lacking time of doing better for now.

* As already reported, the BUGS file is missing a line.  I am also
sending a copy of this to <lord@gnu.ai.mit.edu> whom *might* be the
Oleo maintainer, I am not sure.  I previously communicated some Oleo
0.03.[12] reports to Jay Fenlason, which reports might could be lost
by now.  I never received acknowledgement nor reply, in any case.
Would the current maintainer tell me where should I resubmit these old
articles?

* There is no ChangeLog.  There should be one as per GNU standards.

* The autoconfiguration process ends with:

	[...]
	checking for vprintf
->	checking for -1
	creating config.status
	creating Makefile

Here is a correction:

 dnl checks for functions
 AC_REPLACE_FUNCS(_doprnt random ualarm)

 AC_HAVE_FUNCS(ualarm setitimer rint rename vprintf index)
 AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)

* There are two (and only two) references to USG:

	io_curses.c:26:#undef USG
	io_edit.c:24:#undef USG

If they have no useful purpose, these lines might be deleted.

* Because <time.h> is included both in eval.c and in sysdef.h, one gets:

	gcc -ansi -Di386 -O -c -g  -DSYSV=1 -DHAVE_VPRINTF=1  eval.c
	In file included from sysdef.h:31, from eval.c:62:
	/usr/include/time.h:10: redefinition of `struct tm'

I removed the include of <time.h> in eval.c.

* Because "time.h" is included in print.c *after* global.h, which
includes sysdef.h, which includes <time.h>, one gets:

	gcc -ansi -Di386 -O -c -g  -DSYSV=1 -DHAVE_VPRINTF=1  print.c
	In file included from print.c:21:
	/usr/include/time.h:10: redefinition of `struct tm'

I removed the include in "time.h" in print.c.  Besides, there is no
local file named time.h.

* The `inline' keyword is verboten in ANSI C.  This yields:

	gcc -ansi -Di386 -O -c -g  -DSYSV=1 -DHAVE_VPRINTF=1  lists.c
	lists.c:60: parse error before `void'
	lists.c:74: parse error before `void'
	lists.c:100: parse error before `void'
	lists.c:116: parse error before `void'
	lists.c:217: parse error before `void'
	lists.c:250: parse error before `void'
	lists.c:362: parse error before `void'

This patch is inspired from an advice given in GNU C documentation:

* Here are, in a unsorted bunch, the remaining compilation errors and
warnings.  If I have more time, I might take a deeper look.  That
would certainly not be before a few days, however...
