CVS update: samba/source/ubiqx

[Christopher R. Hertel]

Robert,

Thanks for your comments.  A couple of thoughts...

You spoke about ANSI/Posix vs. K&R.  I'm using the second edition, which 
I understand to be ANSI-based.  What am I missing here?

In any case, the issue for me isn't which standard to use.  I'm interested
in making the code work on as many platforms as possible with the minimum
of fuss.  That includes both the ubiqx modules and whatever pieces of
Samba can be modularized.  The ubiqx modules use a minimum of stuff from
the header files (in fact, I think that NULL is it!). 

> Under Solaris, which is posix/ansi complient, NULL is defined in several

Thanks.  I'll have to re-think which headers I include.

I'll have to check, but I don't think that the ubiqx library code uses 
functions that would need this.
