I tried that, but it seemed not to work - rerunning configure seems to be
necessary. The solution I adopted is quite embarrasing, so if anyone wants
to give me a lesson in the best way to do this, feel free!

In 'configure' you will find a section:

echo $ac_n "checking for fcntl(F_SETLK)""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:5598: checking for fcntl(F_SETLK)" >&5
cat > conftest.$ac_ext <<EOF
#line 5600 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <tdio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

I changed the last two lines to:

#include <pjwpjwstdio.h>
#include <pjwpjwfcntl.h>

(ie. two file names that I knew did not exist) - hence the test will fail.
It'd probably work if you just deleted them, but I like to leave
footprints, at least...
