Erm, there is a small problem: The *.diff file is per OS/Net putback and
not per ast-ksh.YYYY-MM-DD.tgz tarball, e.g. there is no 1:1 mapping in
this case. That's why I put the *.diff and "buildksh93.ksh" into the
OS/Net - both are changing per putback (for example buildksh93.ksh for
B37 passed librt.so.1 (realtime library) to the build flags that the AST
buildsystem fetched |nanosleep()|&co. while newer versions no longer
need that (librt.so.1 and libaio.so.1 were folded into libc.so.1 during
Nevada development after B37)).
