[mosh-devel] Solaris support

[Quentin Smith]

Hi Timo,

The place I would start is to get the examples running on Solaris. You can 
do ./configure --enable-examples to get them to build.

Does termemu give you a working terminal?

Beyond that, I would try running mosh-server by hand and seeing if it 
produces any errors. There are instructions on mosh.mit.edu under "How do 
I run the mosh client and server separately?"

As to your other changes, the only thing I can really help with is that 
the "converting of negative value" warnings also happen on older versions 
of OS X, and the resulting binary still seems to work fine.
