Unfortunately the changes to the libraries for Hugs compatability were
made after that.  I'd prefer to continue to track to libraries, kludging
around things like this for the release.  If anyone really wants to roll
back, somewhere around 2002-08-24 would be a suitable point (you'd need
to roll back src/unix/convert_libraries to there too).
