Summary: Python 2.3.3: socketmodule doesn't build on UnixWare 7.1.3

Initial Comment:
We seem to be running afoul of headers and redefinitions/etc 
for the socketmodule.

The virgin source tarball manages to not get <sys/types.h> 
included before <netinet/tcp.h>.

If I force that issue, we get inconsistent definitions of h_errno 
for the threaded case. 

I can supply an account for anyone that wants to look. 

I've looked, and can't seem to fix the errors with h_errno 
easily.

I've reported this to my SCO contacts.  Thanks.  Can I get a 
revised tarball from somewhere?

The problem is not that sys/types.h is not included. The
problem is that sys/types.h is included, but fails to define
u_long. This, in itself, is not a bug, since when requesting
XOPEN API, it may be reasonable not to define u_long.

However, the real bug is that netinet/tcp.h, which should
not use u_long if it is not defined.

Somebody should report this bug to SCO.

I've added a work-around in

configure 1.416.4.14
configure.in 1.427.4.13
NEWS 1.831.4.107
configure 1.444
configure.in 1.455

FWIW, the 2.2.2 version DOES compile on the same platform.
