Thanks for the encouragment.  (Also thanks to George for responding
with a number of fixes.)  I'm going to work on producing reports like
this for some of the other packages.  These past few days have been
swamped at work so I haven't gotten to it yet.

What packages should I concentrate on next?  I rigged up a CVS
snapshot mechanism so that I should be able to usually work on sources
that < 24 hours old, despite the firewall here.  So far I've looked at

    gnome-core
    gnome-applets
    gdk-pixbuf

Also, how interested are you in warnings?  All the packages produce
copious warnings when compiled with DECC.  I haven't looked into them
too much because most of the problems have been in compilation, not
execution.
