Everything I just read indicates that AIX ships ksh and links /bin/sh to
it.  This is supposed to be the default since at least AIX 4.1.  Shouldn't
be a technical issue there.

Getting hold of a compiled showlock for AIX...that's another story.

Maybe someone should rewrite it in something a bit more portable as one
cohesive program rather than script+binary...  Just a thought.  Then again,
how many fP users run AIX that it'd be worth doing?  Probably not many if
fP-Tech couldn't even compile 5.0.x on AIX for a long time, they apparently
never offered fpcgi for it based on their product platform listings, etc.
