Hmmm.  Really should have doc'ed that.  All tests must pass.
If any select expression is not found, that selection fails and
the fix is not applied.  If any bypass expression is found,
then the fix is bypassed.

None of them may match.

They are run separately.

You are most likely going to find that it is easiest to have separate
fixes to pthread.h and have the one selected depend upon a shell test.
That shell test would grep sys/types.h to detect the version of that
file.  Somewhere along the line, someone sent me a list of many versions
of sys/types.h, but I cannot find it now.  I think I had it on my system
at a different company.  :(

I'm trying to push back an update to the readme now:

     Each test must pass or the fix is not applied.  For example,
     all "select" expressions must be found and not one "bypass"
     selection may be found.
