My first attempt at a summary was premature and off the mark. Pretend
you never saw it.

Here (again) is a synopsis of the original problem:

> When I attempt to run the build script, it dies right away:
>
> cc: Severe: sendmail.h, line 50: Cannot find file <unistd.h> specified in
>
> Can anyone give me an idiot-proof explanation of what unistd.h is, where I
> can find it, and how I install it?

unistd.h is a standard header file that is part of the OSFINCLUDE
subset. I just needed to install that subset and my build worked fine.

The nifty trick to figuring out which subset a missing file is part of
is to grep the .inv files in /usr.smdb. for the filename of interest.

Thanks to Dr. Tom Blinn for his help!
