The previous imap/src/osdep/unix/os_nto.[ch] were for
an earlier version of what I'm calling QNX6. config.guess
will only change the release (currently at 6.4.0). I guess
if you want to support the older versions you'd need
something like:


*-*-nto-qnx6.[0123].*)
systype="QNX"
alpine_path_delim="/"
alpine_mode_readonly="(0600)"
alpine_c_client_target="nto"
;;
*-*-nto-qnx*)
systype="QNX"
alpine_path_delim="/"
alpine_mode_readonly="(0600)"
alpine_c_client_target="qn6"
;;

I'm a little confused. Where else should I send patches to?
