 Well, I didn't mean the patch was dirty, I meant that it's implementation  
 might be dirty: it may or may not be the cleanest way go about it... PLUS  
 the fact that the patch was the result of only a couple hours of work with  
 very little testing.  (-;
 
 If you look REAL close, you'll see that I snuck in a few other changes  
 into the posted patch not associated with the POSIX/wait problem.  The  
 changes are:
 1.  Modified GuessOS and Configure to distiguish between NEXTSTEP 3.x (ala  
 nextstep3) and Openstep for Mach 4.x (ala openstep4).
 2.  Modified Configure to provide the proper flags for creating shared  
 libraries under Openstep if/wheen apache can/will ever use them...
 3.  A few other tiny changes to squash compiler warnings (like TRUE/FALSE  
 redefinitions).
