Hi Werner,

I'm +0 for applying the patch to CVS, since it's an additive feature and doesn't 
hurt any existing core bricks of the gwlib.

The calls should be POSIX.1 compliant and portable hence I guess.

Werner, could you do me a favor and resend the patch in a single file as mail 
attachment please. This ensures we don't get truncated end of line chars etc, 
which is a mess to correct by hand while patching ;)

And thanks a lot for contributing.

Stipe
