This is here in case errno on your system is so brain damaged that it's
unusable. Hopefully it'll get very little use.
This routine maps error numbers to error names and error messages.
These are all directly ripped out of the include file errno.h, and
are HOPEFULLY standardized across the different breeds of Unix!!
If (alas) yours are different, you should be able to use awk to
mangle your errno.h file quite simply...
