Hi Martin,

The getopt() call is part of the POSIX standard and on Slowlaris and
other old Unices it is supposed to be supplied by the headers:

  #include <unistd.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  #include <stdio.h>

so there is (again, supposedly) no need for the getopt.h header.  So,
please try commenting out the two lines matching:

  #include <getopt.h>

in the files:

  unixpk.c
  unixunpk.c

and see if it helps.  If it does, then we can probably add a few lines
to the "configure" script that will fix it for your machines.

Ed
