I shall update the code then.  I see it only had <sys/errno.h>.
Done.  Removed <sys/errno.h> and placed an include of <errno.h>.
Revision 1.6 of newstartd.c has this fix.

That's a cvs update marker telling you it could not merge the changes
made to the makefile with your copy.  Quick fix is to remove the file
and refetch it from cvs, I think.

Probably caused by either;
	- someone committing a Makefile with makedepend tail,
	- you doing a "make depend" but not "make rmdependencies" before
	  doing a "cvs update".

Others; should we be using Makefile.in's in each subdirectory in order
to avoid this?

I've change it's name to install-sh to comply with autoconf
documentation suggestions, but configure may still find install.sh if
you have it still there.

The code that does is this in configure, and is automatically generated.
Does anyone know how we should fix this?

A simple quick and dirty is to place install-sh into every subdirectory
in CVS and just ignore the duplication.

I'd appreciate it if you add a line to .ports for 2596, see
docs/sample_ports for the format.  This will give _you_ the ability to
see newstartd statistics, and _me_ the ability to verify which version
of newstartd you are using.

File PROJECTS is where I am keeping things up to date.  I've just
committed it back to CVS so type "cvs update PROJECTS" and you'll get
yours updated.

I agree.
