==================
Before trying to port sudo to a new architecture, please join the
-sudo-workers mailing list (see the README) and ask if anyone has a
-port working or in-progress. Sudo should be fairly easy to port.
-Since it uses a configure script, most of the work should be done
-for you.

If your OS is an SVR4 derivative (or some approximation thereof), it may
be sufficient to tell configure you are runnng SVR4, something like:
configure foo-bar-sysv4
where foo is the hardware architecture and bar is the vendor.
-A possible pitfall is getdtablesize(2) which is used to get the maximum
-number of open files the process can have. If an OS has the POSIX sysconf(2)
-it will be used instead of getdtablesize(2). ulimit(2) or getrlimit(2) can
-also be used on some OS's. If all else fails you can use the value of
-NOFILE in <sys/param.h>.
-
-Sudo tries to clear the environment of dangerous envariables like LD_*
-to prevent shared library spoofing. If you are porting sudo to a new
-OS that has shared libraries you'll want to mask out the variables that
-allow one to change the shared library path. See badenv_table() in
-sudo.c to see how this is done for various OS's.

It is possible that on a really weird system, tgetpass() may not
compile. (The most common cause for this is that the "fd_set" type
