The attached script, suitable for Porting/, suitable for both blead
and maint, helps in the battle of keeping the non-UNIX platforms up
to date in their knowledge of Configure variables. Run it at the
top level directory and it will tell its best guess as to which of
those variables are missing in various places. The task of adding
d_foo='undef' and the like all over the place is left as a manual
exercise.

Thanks, applied.

And indeed it detects quite a few missing symbols, for epoc,
Netware, symbian (!), plan9 and windows CE.

Also, uconfig.sh probably needs to be updated, although I'm not
100% sure how to do this properly.
