I am all for dropping it, but maybe for
really old compilers or header sets,
something like this would be more portable:

#if !defined(_MALLOC_H) && !defined(_MALLOC_MALLOC_H_) && !defined 
(_SYS_MALLOC_H_)

It does, but that sh make rule is getting a little unweildy.
The subshell part of it - (svnversion ...) || echo Unknown-
in particular.

Mr usleep, I don't suppose you could revert
that and mail us the relevant make output?
