[Willard Dawson]

Thanks Niels.  From hereon, I'll just send my comments to the mailing
list.

It seems that some real effort to make a Solaris-clean version minus any
remnant of paths.h is still needed.

Ok, so it's been a while since I did real work.  Trying gmake, instead,
gets me further along:

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -I/usr/local/ssl/include -DETCDIR=\"/usr/local/etc\" -DSSH_PROGRAM=\"/usr/local/bin/ssh\" -DASKPASS_PROGRAM=\"/usr/local/libexec/ssh/ssh-askpass\" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H   -c ssh-add.c -o ssh-add.o
ssh-add.c: In function `main':
ssh-add.c:187: conflicting types for `__progname'
ssh-add.c:32: previous declaration of `__progname'
gmake: *** [ssh-add.o] Error 1

That one's easy enough to work around by simply copying the same ifdef's
into the next declaration.  Similar problem in ssh-keygen.c.

After all that, I finally got it to compile.  *whew*

Now, to see if it runs...
