Now that sys_errlist is defined in errno.h, and defined correctly,
a lot of non-ANSI programs break slightly when compiled because
they also define it as just extern char * (without the const).
What's the easiest and simplist way to determine, in the general
case, whether one is running on a system that already has this
defined? I'm currently using a #ifdef __NetBSD__ around the code,
but I'd rather send back more general patches to the authors if I
can, since I'm fairly certain this change needs to be made for
FreeBSD and the like as well.
