always manage to change the compilers as well, usually in incompatible 
ways.  ah well.

for hp-ux 9.03, the main stumbling block is that the c preprocessor
is just plain broken.  if you don't apply patch PHSS_4307 cpp won't
fully expand macros. :-P  i don't know if 9.02 shows the same behavior
or not.  sorry, you have to get patches from h-p, i can't redistribute
them.  thanks to steve dierker for pointing this one out and to carl 
staelin for the patches.

for osf/1 2.0, the hangup is that type promotion in expressions
changed.  there are a couple of lines in src/utils/adt/numutils.c
that must change.

<       if (l < -0x80000000) {

<       if (l > 0x7fffffff) {
---
>       if (l > 0x7fffffffL) {

i *think* that was the only important change.
