I agree wholeheartedly.  I used even to be able to run the GNU configure
script to generate the header file containing most of the macros that ZA
presumably painstakingly coded by hand.  Lately, however, configure
fails because it can't find a z/OS equivalent of getmntent().

I've coded what I think is an alternative getmntent() using interfaces
available on z/OS, and even put it in a .a file.  But here my skills fail
me: I have no idea how to marry it to GNU configure.  (Might be easier
in Minnesota or Rhode Island, this month.)
