Style question
We currently have a patch in the doc/FAQ_SCO file for the "accept
doesn't send AF_UNIX to the caller" problem on SCO UnixWare 7.1.[01].
Is there any problem with configure finding out we are on one of those
releases (uname -v), and setting a UW= variable so the user doesn't
have to remember to patch their sources?

I think we should install this patch conditional on some __UnixWare__
#define, if there's a good one. If there isn't, then we can add our own
#define ACCEPT_IS_BUSTED_IN_PECULIAR_WAYS in src/include/port/unixware.h.
Testing runtime behaviour in configure is not good "style". :)

I was just thinking of checking uname -v and if it is 7.1.0 or 7.1.1
set a define that pq_comm.c sees and includes the fix. There isn't a
good #define yet.. :-(

We could use the result of
checking host system type... i586-sco-sysv5uw7.1.1
But which one is the good one and which one is broken?

7.1.0 and 7.1.1 are both broken. SCO hasn't released a fixed version
yet.
