[M3devel] What happened to Utypes.i3?

[Tony Hosking]

TextF is not part of the installed code-base for m3core.  The old  
source is there, but does not get built.

I know I have built CVS up since *after* TextF went away.  There were  
a few minor patches needed.  Of course, that was all before Utypes got  
pruned away.

I really don't think it can possibly be too hard to build CVSup  
against the current CM3 head.  Yes, there may be some declarations  
needed for various Unix foibles, but ideally we could hide those away  
behind C helper code as Jay suggests.
