Well, I wrote that on the 18th, and it's the 18th again :)

I've got a version of strfile going that doesn't include <sys/endian.h>
and it's output is identical to the current version in the tree.
However, neither a Solaris or Ultrix system can build strfile because of
other NetBSD dependancies - at least <sys/cdefs.h>, <err.h> and sized
integer type names.  Should I remove _all_ NetBSD dependancies?
