   Hmmm. Good point. (Oh, ye of little confidence.)

   I see no problem with including the vms_misc.c code in
"src/os-specific.c". (No need to bother "src/os-specific.h".) The
simplified LINK command would say:

   'objdir'curlsrc.olb /library /include = (main, curlmsg), -
   'objdir'curllib.olb /library -

   Also possible. The LINK command would then need to say:

   'objdir'curlsrc.olb /library /include = (main, curlmsg, vms_misc), -
   'objdir'curllib.olb /library -

Moving the stuff into "src/os-specific.c" seems to me simpler. Seems to
work, too.

   Revised stuff:

   My motto: Complaints are always welcome. (Good ideas, even more so.)
