- "uname -v": in fact the goal is to be able to run a libgtop compiled on AIX 
4.3.3 (for instance) on AIX 5.1 (for instance).

	  AIX 5.1	AIX 4.3		linux

uname -s  AIX		AIX		Linux
uname -v  1		3		#41 SMP Wed Dec 4 12:56:12 CET 2002
uname -r  5		4		2.4.9
		
	  7428/43P	7428/43P	Xeon

uname -m  000BACBD4C00	00402F5A4C00 	i686

The test is in libgtop/src/daemon/server.c, line 70. I agree that it's not very 
clean and could be removed from patch if you think it must.

I did that because my development system is an AIX 4.3.3 and my test machine is 
an AIX 5.1.

- ENABLE_STATIC: with AIX, dynamic and static libraries are the same and called 
 lib<name>.a, so this flag introduces some problems. I think it's better to let 
libtool to manage this kind of thing

Sorry, I have no access to CVS...
