AIX glob is missing a lot of features, and seems to be unreliable. Import NetBSD glob in its place. This wraps the old header, but w/o including it. THis should mean it totally shadows the legacy glob. strl* is needed for glob and comes in handy in general

As we add more and more of our own implementations of things, I wonder if we should start adding macros to allow overriding specific functions. As it is, if you install libutil-devel, you will always get the libutil versions since they shadow the system headers. Is there a reason an application might want to use AIX glob with our flock or vice-versa? |
