Ah, fair enough.  Thanks (and to Niels as well).

Sure, if I have some time in the next couple of days I'll look too,
although I'm no autoconf expert.

What about just renaming the function though?  There's just the
definition and three calls to it in a single source file.  I patched
mine to be nut_setenv for the time being, seems to work ok (modulo a
build from the latest sources dumps core on me on Solaris 8, unsure why
- previous checkout from about a month ago doesn't).  Works great on my
Linux box though.

OK, thanks again.
