That was the one *program* change I had to fix (in src/gmalloc.c); the other
was telling the config to use libgz instead of libz for compression (?), as
the RH libz.a is some timezone stuff, I believe.

Other than that, it was *very* smooth sailing, though it *is* larger, and
slower to start than 19.13 was... :-\
