But it won't build the memsat.o module when enabled.  Many pages of 
parse errors if I softlink the newest version number of it to 
memstat.c. Otherwise it cannot find it at all. Not much meat in the 
README's either.  That isn't the one with the newest date however, 
wth?

I'll try without it.

And that, when built, then './xosview' to run it insitu, never shows 
its window, and never shows up in the process table.  A ctrl-c 
returns the prompt instantly.  So I'm not going to install that 
one...
