But how many ``clearly not intended to be portable'' ``obviously of local
interest only'' and ``but gee, I only wrote it as a 10 minute throw away
program'' hacks get pressed into service? And who has time to rewrite them?

(answer: the poor sucker who has to port them to another architecture 
	and/or another flavour of UNIX.)
