NEWS-OS has buggy tolower() and topper().

add to pcre/pcre_globals.c:
extern void *malloc(size_t); extern void *realloc(void *, size_t); extern void free(void *);
pcre/dftables.c: NEWS-OS3.3 fopen() doesn't understand argument "wb", but fails silently, rather then giving an error message. Change to "w+"
also needs tolower and toupper fixes.
make-3.77:

also needs strstr() use libmissing
NEWS-OS doesn't have dirent.h.
Replace #include dirent.h with sys/dir.h in ctags/ctags.c
won't compile ctags. don't use ctags. vim alone works.
