DG/UX R4.20MU05 port of 2.3.0p1

[David Dulek]

Slight problem on DG/UX though.  The OS has a regexec and regcomp.  From what 
I understand and from what I am seeing, the DG/UX version of regcomp always 
returns -1.  This kind of makes it useless in compat.c.  I am kind of 
braindead today so please be patient.  How do I get OpenSSH to use the prce 
regexec and regcomp instead of the OS ones?
