mod_ssl configure issues
• portable non-GNU way to detect MPE from a script?
• if [ -f '/SYS/PUB/MPEXLDIR' -a ".$HPSUSAN" != . ];
then # it’s MPE!
• built-in cat stdin inline redirects are broken (cat >foo <<bar)
• use /bin/cat instead (alias -x cat=/bin/cat)
• embedded patch program needs -D_POSIX_SOURCE
• export CPPFLAGS=“-D_POSIX_SOURCE”
• ld library order is important at link time on MPE
• move OpenSSL libraries from beginning to end of list
