Urgh, I think I was a bit over zealous witht he first patch and just
bundled the later two in... After looking around the includes they
don't do anything under Linux. I think they're used on AIX.
however the best way to do this is to look at another package which
has a wide distribution and wide OS base - OpenLDAP being a good
example (or even MySQL!)- and see how they do things... No need to
reinvent the wheel!
