Bruce has sent me a patch for AutoGen and fixincl that would allegedly
take care of concatenating strings.  Unfortunately, the patch was
messed up because the message was returned and resent, and the MIME

again, or post it here?

Thanks.  Removing the fixes related with the autogen shortcoming, the
remaining portability fixes are attached.  Ok to install?
