Hello, everyone.
When building -current as of 1998/06/06 it got stuck because of
being unable to find mkstemp(), which used to be in unistd.h.
After searching for it I could find it lying in the newer
stdlib.h (which wasn't installed to /usr/include, perhaps because
of my having defined UPDATE in MAKEFLAGS). Checking further, I
saw that unistd.h and stdlib.h were both largely changed.
So the question is: why was that done? I could see some remarks
regarding compliance with X/Open and other standards, but
wouldn't that mean that we'd be getting less BSDish? How advan-
tageous is this?
