x5250-0.5.2-pre4 released

I've made a forth pre-release of x5250 that fixes several
of the build 
problems Scott found.  I tested with gcc 3.3.6 and gcc 4.0.0
and the 
latter complains about sign mismatches, but otherwise it
runs without 
problems.  gcc 3.3.6 does not give any warnings at all.

Please test out this new tarball:

This has the same problem as the last one:

checking for tn5250_terminal_init in -l5250... no
configure: error: ** Unable to find 5250 libraries!

To fix it, I have to run the following command:

$ setenv LDFLAGS -L/usr/local/lib

Now ./configure will run successfully, but make will fail
with the 
following errors:

$ make
Making all in src
if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..
-DSYSCONFDIR=\"/usr/local/etc\"

  -MD -MP -MF ".deps/alloccolors.Tpo" -c -o
alloccolors.o alloccolors.c; 
then mv
  -f ".deps/alloccolors.Tpo"
".deps/alloccolors.Po"; else rm -f 
".deps/alloccolor
s.Tpo"; exit 1; fi

*** Error code 1

I can fix this problem by typing:

setenv CFLAGS -I/usr/local/include

Then I can re-run ./configure and make and it'll build.

You might find the following interesting:

     $ pkg-config --libs tn5250
     -L/usr/local/lib -l5250 -lssl -lcrypto -lncurses

     $ pkg-config --cflags tn5250
     -I/usr/local/include

It's almost like there should be a link between ./configure
and 
pkg-config...
