Perhaps a more relevant question is why ecpg/preproc is including
that header.

Well, port.h is certainly doing a fine job of polluting the namespace.
Maybe we should pull out the stuff that depends on netdb.h and pwd.h
into some other header that isn't going to get included so widely.

There's no way that we are going to be able to dodge every single symbol
that any random system header on any random platform might define ---
especially when you get into the less-well-standardized headers like
these. We have to think smaller in terms of what headers we include
everywhere.

Well, we've built on most versions of Solaris, HP-UX, AIX, Tru64 UNIX, Redhat Linux, and IRIX and this is the only symbol conflict we ran into. So, it's not a big problem. -- albert chin (china@thewrittenword.com)
