Re: TEST_NT hack and OpenBSD

Hi Jörg,

> Is there really a need to add 1000 lines of code to the repository

I added 1 file with 62 lines of code. The rest were gnulib modules,
which cost us no maintenance (just adds to the size of the tarball and
the 'configure' time).

This is excellent. I've tested this works even on the old proprietary systems,
such as AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and even IRIX. And of course on NetBSD, which often
has bugs of its own.

With this, I could remove the 'newer' program!
