It doesn't compile on Solaris as-is. (./configure; make)

Firstly, _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, which prevents timeval being defined, so
getrusage doesn't work. The solution is to also define __EXTENSIONS__.

Secondly, src/run.c has "int" as the return type for piped_child, whereas
src/cvs.h has it as "pid_t", so src/run.c needs to be fixed (I presume)

Next, protocols/common.c uses struct addrinfo and the getaddrinfo function,
which is Windows-specific. I am therfore surprised it works on Linux.
Anyway, this is not a two-minute fix, so I'll leave it to you....
