Hello,
I ran a "make Experimental" on the w04 AIX-5.1 system with the compiler 
version 6 with cmake-2.4.8 not modified, which means that the 
compilation generated errors.
Should I run the "make Experimental" with the changed sources of 
strerror.c, curl.h and multi.h ?
The AIX-5.3 (compiler version   8!) "make Experimental" for 
cmake-2.7.20080326 is still running, but may appear soon.
Best regards,
Joachim
