reported by Keith Marshall. Also, don't bother with builddir2,
since it shouldn't be needed any more.
"HP" and "HP-UX". Remove mention of OSF; the old version wasn't
quite right (it talked about "OSF/Tru64", even though the
operating systems were called OSF/1, Digital UNIX, and Tru64 UNIX,
and it even mentioned "OSF 4"!) and at this point there's little
reason to talk about OSF any more, since it died in 1994.

negative-size array.
(File Descriptors): Reorder to make the text flow better.
Remove joke about "appreciate the various levels"; I didn't get it.
