I've pushed a handful of small compatibility patches to GitHub[1] which are enough to successfully compile the project. The default values of the new variables should make them unnoticeable to other systems. Are there any concerns with this type of change? If they would be acceptable, I can try sending the first four of those patches to the list properly. (I expect the last two may be tweaked as I continue working with the port.) I do have a concern with strings.h, though. That file will be included for most people who run ./configure, when it wasn't before. Do you think it's worth making a more detailed test to see if strcasecmp is still undefined after string.h is included, rather than just testing for the header's existence? Thanks.
