Well, so far I'll have had to do is make 'iffe' a Korn shell and not an
Bourne shell script and "make FEATURE/sfio" worked. 'make' seemed to
go well too, except for some strange error in sfexit.c (I think) about
a noreturn having a return. So... the sfio libs are created.

I think I'll wait until tomorrow to go further :)

entry in Makefile. :)
