This is an installation report for GNU shellutils 1.7, using GNU C
1.40 under COFF-encapsulation, on a 386/ix 2.0.2 system (waiting for
Hurd :-).

* Compilation yields:

	making all in lib
	strftime.c:78: sys/time.h: No such file or directory

The problem resides in the fact that, in configure, we read:

	if test -n "$no_tm_zone"; then
	echo checking for tzname
	echo "#include <time.h>
	#ifndef tzname /* For SGI.  */
	extern char **tzname;
	#endif
	main() { exit(0); } t() { atoi(*tzname); }" > conftest.c
	if eval $compile; then
	  DEFS="$DEFS -DHAVE_TZNAME=1"
	fi
	rm -f conftest*

In <time.h> on this machine, we read:

	extern char *tzname[];

which conflicts with the declaration of tzname included in the test.
This causes the test to fail, so HAVE_TZNAME will not be defined as it
should.  So, I removed the include declaration for installing on this
386/ix 2.0.2 system, but this would break installation on SGI's.  The
proper correction is not obvious to me.

* Passing by, modifying `configure' does not bring Makefile's to be
automatically redone.  I think they should.

* `su' is missing at two places in src/Makefile.in:
