Subject: Re: RC on HP9000/710?

I got rc built and passing the trip test yesterday.  I had to build
sigmsgs by hand.  This was on an HP9000/710, running HP-UX 9.01.  The
<sys/signal.h> header file just cannot be parsed by mksignal.  I think
because it gets confused by multiple NSIG and _NSIG #define's.

The more I think about it, the more I don't like the way rc uses signals
as indicies.  I would rather see it extend sigmsgs to contain rows like
	{SIGTERM, "sigterm", "terminated"}
Then, rather then using a signal as an index, it looped through the table
to find the matching SIGxxx, and then used the table subscript as the
index.  It might be possible to generate this table automatically.

A quick look seems to show that es works the same way.  While I wouldn't
call it a show-stopper, I think it, too, should be fixed.
