Fw: [vorbis-dev] ogg123: shared memory by mmap()

For those interested in the topic, this is something that went through
the Vorbis-dev mailing list not that long ago which implements the
above topic into the vorbis decoder.  Might be useful to see what
systems it works on, and where it breaks as well as a reference
implementation. (patch included for files affected)

> The patch below adds:
>
> - acinclude.m4:  A new macro A_FUNC_SMMAP to check that sharing
pages
>   through mmap() works.  This is taken from Joerg Schilling's star.
> - configure.in:  A_FUNC_SMMAP
> - ogg123/buffer.c:  If we have a working mmap(), use it to create
>   a region of shared memory instead of using System V IPC.

> Works on BSD.  Should also work on SVR4 and offspring (Solaris),
