Thanks for the hint. I still couldn't convince 5.1.45 to build, but
after some fiddling with libtool incompatibilities I was able to
coerce 5.1.39 into compiling. Your patches worked like
a charm.

I've been running a native 4.1 server for several years, and I don't
see any need to change this. The client library and the command line
client were all I was asking for, and I'm all set now.

Thanks
Markus
