Re: new mib module configure stuff broken on HP-UX

[this shouldn't have been a private conversation to begin with, but it
was so I'll move it to -coders where it should be. Topic: my recent
changes to configure and the inclusion of the system/*.h headers.]

I'd rather still try to go down this line as it seems to be the
cleanest, IMHO. I'd propose that in the system .h files we should
require defining the os definitions in the same way... IE,

#define osf4

is in there now but I think it should be:

#define osf4 osf4

This seems much safer in general and I'm actually amazed we haven't
been bitten by this bug yet anyway (you'd think function names, etc,
would have hit this at some point already)
