Hi Sam,

You should view the change in 'hgview' (*). I added one file (newer.c) and
removed one file (test.m4); the rest are imports from gnulib - maintained
at gnulib.

You are not distinguishing the intended effect of the TEST_NT code and
the actual effect.

The intended effect was, as you say, just a convenience for clisp developers
working on modules.

The actual effect was a build failure on OpenBSD (with the default 'make'
and default shell of OpenBSD).

(*) hgview needs a couple of customizations in order to be useful:
$ tail -n 4 .hg/hgrc 
[hgview]
maxfilesize = 5000000
diffbgcolor = white
difffgcolor = black
