Error hacked around -- eval 'sub _POSIX_C_SOURCE { 0; }';

After looking all over the include files, I decided that it was probably
relatively safe to just hard-code the silly thing.  Following the method
shown in a message to the libwww mailing list in mid-1994, I simply 
stuffed a value into the main momspider module:

> # Awful hack, to get the silly thing to work.  arp, 12/07/95
> eval 'sub _POSIX_C_SOURCE { 0; }';

(and yes, I'm going to mail Roy the output from the first full run, but 
that's a couple of steps further down the line.  Just getting MOMspider to
give me an error message (a.k.a. usage summary) is a big step in the right
direction, though...)

Hopefully when I get subsidiary errors I'll be able to trace them to this hack
and not come screaming to the list looking like a clueless user...
