>From the looks of it, the Solaris `msghdr' has a `msg_accrights', as
opposed to a `msg_control' -- so it probably is equivalent to the data
part of a SCM_RIGHTS cmsg (Solaris 2.5 apparently doesn't support the
Unix98 cmsghdr).  A simple autoconf test should tell us which variant
to use.

BTW, sendmsg doesn't appear to be POSIX.  So Solaris is also POSIX
:-).  `sendmsg' is specified in Unix98 -- and Solaris 2.[56] don't
seem to confirm to it.
