Hi John,

Yes, it looks like this should have been there for every platform, since
`isdigit' is invoked in load.c.  Thanks for pointing this out.  I wonder
where the definition of `isdigit' was found on all the other platforms.
Maybe there's a non-macro version in libc ...

I guess it would improve portability if we used the POSIX uchar_t, uint_t, ...

Our new `configure' script generated by autoconf 2 may define this
correctly.

I think this is an artifact of something that happened in your transferring
or converting the patch files.  There are no carriage returns in the patch
files on our FTP server.

I'd prefer it if the patches did not depend on new features of `patch', but
I'm not sure what new feature was used.  The patches were generated with a
`diff -c1 -r'.  I don't know how else to make patch files.

Thanks for pointing these out.  I'll pass these on to Steve Emmerson, our
`configure' wizard.  He may be able to improve the new configure script to
handle some of these.
