I just checked in the changes I've made in the last few days in
preparation for releasing Moira 4 to the outside world.

The big changes:
 - incorporated sipb-athena code. You can now build netbsd and linux
   clients from the moiradev source

 - incorporated the patches for the Alpha that Ezra gave us ages ago.
   I found someone with access to an alpha and verified that it does
   compile, and that blanche at least worked. (Not sure about
   update_server though, which we apparently need soon.)

 - renamed all the .dc files to .pc since I'd already gotten rid of
   all the #ifsql code since it was impossible to maintain backward
   compatibility.

 - lots of general code cleanup. (lots more needs to be done). I got
   rid of a lot of things like `extern char *malloc()' and replaced
   them with #includes of the right headers. I also did some type
   casting and other things to get as few compiler warnings as I could
   on all architectures.

I'd still like to get it under autoconf some day. The build system is
still pretty kludgy. (For instance, you can build under netbsd or
linux, and you can build on an alpha, but you can't build on an alpha
running netbsd or linux.)


I'd planned to get the release out before the end of IAP, but I think
it still needs a little more testing, so that might not quite happen.
