Improved patch.

Egbert, for building use khisanth, for Xserver testing use crow (Visualize EG, 
fbdev driver). 
Building X11 programs work, X11 programs via remote work as well (just tested 
with xdvi via ssh). 
Egbert complains about missing entries in imakemdep.h. Berthold thinks that 
they might not be required at all because of default defines in gcc. I'll 
attach these default defines.

The way imake works they are still required.
I still cannot build on khisanth as a lot of utilities and libs are missing.
I need flex, bison, ncurses (+devel), libpng (+devel), expat (+devel) and maybe
some other stuff.

I will commit the second part but I will not commit the Imake stuff for now.

flex, bison, ncurses (+devel), libpng (+devel), expat is installed now on 
khisanth. Thanks for committing. You can commit the imake stuff later, when 
it's better investigated. As long as it's tracked. 
 

Thanks Stefan! I have decided to commit everything altogether as I have not
found any place which uses set_socket_opt() unset_socket_opt(). Therefore this
stuff can possibly be dropped altogether.

Yet another improved patch

This is another version of the patch. It removes os/hpsocket.c instead of
fixing it. I don't see where it is used.
Maybe Paul Anderson from HP can help us.

Paul, could you please check what this os/hpsocket.c is for.
I cannot see it used anywhere and on a PA-RISC where it gets build it's not needed. 
Once the build with all these patches has succeeded I will commit it.

I can't speak for the Linux/HPPA port, but this function isn't used on
HP-UX/HPPA.  I did find some references to it in some very old code 
(such as back in the X11R5 or before timeframe), but we're not calling it
now. It was probably used long ago but remained in the code even after it
was no longer needed.  I don't have any objections to removing it from the
code.  

Thanks Paul!
I've committed a Linux/HPPA patch and reomved this file.
