Does HP-UX work with the generic code? If so, then what would be the
advantage to anything else?

Adding support for the library would probably mean we'd need to add at
least a bit of autoconfery.

you're probably right. There's no reason this can't wait for 1.6.9,
which I can release as soon as we figure it out.
