The changes required to build are fairly minor and seem that they should be
in the code in any case. For example, a function gets called even when its
definition is not compiled because of conditional compilation.
However, there is still the problem of the failed test. Any thoughts on
that? I should point out that I will only be running clients. Is it
possible that I don't need the database at all?

I just submitted them. The patch from the current snapshot is huge --
apparently, there are many files included in the snapshot that are not in
the distribution. The patch from the distribution, on the other hand, is
very small -- only a few lines are changed. Since I figure that you will
want to review the changes anyway, I sent the patch from the
distribution. I hope that this is acceptable.
Yours,
David
