32/64 bit is solved already.  Big endian/little endian is solved
already.  If any machine uses 31 bit words I believe porting will be
difficult and I seem to recall some hpux systems use 31 bit words but I
could be confused with some other platform.

Porting to a new posix-like platform is really not that time consuming,
assuming someone is familiar with the linux system calls and what may be
missing from HPUX.  If you have a hpux system outside a firewall
somewhere I can ssh into, or can send me a loaner that is small and
doesn't have special power requirements (ie runs on 15 amp ac circuit),
I am happy to port it for you.  Takes a few hours-1day max.

The Makefile can be altered so that only clm and evt is compiled.  Then
in service.c the structure default_services tells openais which services
to load by default.  Just delete or comment out the ones you don't want
loaded but remember, clm must be loaded for evt to work properly. :)

I don't think so.
