Certainly true, but

(1) we can start from that other awk script.  I hacked up the
following which worked fine on a random sample of Sgi, HPUX, SunOS 4,
Solaris 2 and OSF/1 workstations with the standard awk.  The worst
problem may be sneaky definitions which define the signal in terms
of some other cpp token instead of an integer directly.  I think we
can only suck it and see.  (Do `awk -f rlimits.awk
/usr/include/sys/resource.h' unless the limits are elsewhere.)

Note I've made the script exit with the status containing the number
of limits it failed to find, so configure can print a warning, but
supplied the bit of the CPP token (e.g. RSS, CORE, ... although those
are of course handled) as the name, so it can compile anyway.

(2) it shouldn't be too hard to make a list of possible locations for
RLIMITS, let configure decide whether they exist (which it may well do
anyway, thought we might have to check for files included from other
files) and awk through the list of those which do exist.  I thought
I'd better see what people made of the script first, though.
