Move string.h hack here from alpha.h and make it conditional. (C_SWITCH_SYSTEM): Use _OSF_SOURCE, not -BSD, which clashes with _XOPEN_SOURCE. (WAIT_USE_INT, SYS_SIGLIST_DECLARED, sys_siglist, NSIG): Define. (SOCKLEN_TYPE): Don't define.

;;; Commentary:

;; Provides the command eshell-toggle which toggles between the
;; *eshell* buffer and whatever buffer you are editing.
;;
;; This is done in an "intelligent" way.  Features are:
;;
;;  - Starts a eshell if non is existing.
;;
;;  - Minimum distortion of your window configuration.
;;
;;  - When done in the eshell-buffer you are returned to the same
;;    window configuration you had before you toggled to the eshell.
;;
;;  - If you desire, you automagically get a "cd" command in the
;;    eshell to the directory where your current buffers file exists;
;;    just call eshell-toggle-cd instead of eshell-toggle.
;;
;;  - You can convinently choose if you want to have the eshell in
;;    another window or in the whole frame.  Just invoke eshell-toggle
;;    again to get the eshell in the whole frame.
;;
;; This file has been tested under Emacs 20.2.
;;
;; To use, call the functions `eshell-toggle' or `eshell-toggle-cd'.
;; It's most helpful to bind these to a key.
