Problem is that the added |#include| is AFAIK a border case... the
change itself to the source file is IMO not significant but it includes
a header containing a fixed list of builtin commands (defined by PSARC
2006/550) which are enabled by default which is significant. The idea of
using an |#include|-statement+seperate header (instead of adding the
code directly) was do avoid the need to add something like CDDL and/or a
copyright to the ksh93 sources which would bloat the patch significantly
(e.g. I am seeing this from the technical viewpoint...).
Anyway...
... Glenn added a hook in the ksh93 code to avoid any patches which
means we do not hit this issue for this round (which means we do not
need the *.diff files in this case (and more or less forward that
"fight" to the next case where it may be needed...)).

Do you mean "phone call" ?

Ok... what about adding the "Sun copyright" ... can that be avoided by
using the "OSR" ?

Thanks for the answers... :-)
