After jumping through hoops to get configure to use -qlanglvl=extc99 
(people don't want me creating a /usr/include/stdbool.h and xlc doesn't 
seem to pay attention to INCLUDE, I finally had to explicitly use 
CFLAGS=-I<path-to-stdbool.h>), it built clean, which is an improvement 
over last time when as you'll recall I had problems with the strstr 
declaration. I'll be pleasantly surprised if it passes 'make check' 
cleanly, as that tends to hit false positives and/or kernel bugs, but 
it's looking good!

Thanks again for the snapshots. :-)
