Hm.  On my Solaris box, ./configure still doesn't work,
and with xmkmf, I manually have to add

  -ldl -lintl

to the civclient linking step before it compiles.

So it doesn't compile 'out of the tarball'.  Also, the latest CVS version
I tried seems to require gcc (instead of Sun /opt/SUNWspro/cc).
If I knew of a simple remedy I'd include it, but I think it's something
to look at before 1.8 comes out.  (If it isn't already.)
