Most of our local changes were in the vendor version 3-4 years before
we made them, sigh.  Summary of some relevant parts of changes.gz from
the above URL:
- Jan 21 1993: apparently the long -> Long hack to support systems with
               32 bit ints and 64 bit longs
- Jul  6 1996: unsigned long -> ULong
- Dec 17 1996: threads support
