Help with C Header files among *NIX variants

[Gerry.Feldman at compaq.com (Jerry Feldman)]

This is not exactly what you are asking for, but all of the header files 
except for ip.h and icmp.h should be in the same place. The issue is not 
so much where the header files are, but what structures or prototypes 
you need from them. Most of the other header files are required by either 
the ISO C, POSIX, or XOPEN(UNix95,98)  standards. Most commercial 
platforms make their public header files self referential, so unless the 
code is a real Linux specific hack, it should port cleanly. Last year, I 
ported several com programs from Solaris to both Debian on Intel and 
Red Hat on Alpha. I found there was very little need for platform 
specificity.
