HPUX 9 is obsolete (heck, HP is about to obsolete HPUX 10...). If
there's any beta testers out there still running it, they can find out
for us. But I'd say that if you are providing a portable rint() in
/port, we could get rid of the HPUXMATHLIB crock and let configure
fall back to using the /port version.

Hardly worth the trouble. The substitute implementation is small
and portable...
