exporting host information

   Another issue that's come up for us recently...

   configure defines the specific platform information that several
   headers need (like -DLINUX or -DSUNOS).  However, this state isn't
   exported, so programs using the library have to reimplement the
   same checking code, with the same -D command line options.

   I'm thinking that a better solution for this would be a config.h,
   generated by autoconf, that both beepcore-c and programs linking in
   beepcore-c could use.

   If I put this together, would you all be interested?  Is there a
   different way that would be preferable?

The beepcore-c-config program, which I added in the last round of
changes, provides this information.
