IMHO we cannot autoconf u_char easily. The main problem is we have to
define _XOPEN_SOURCE for some platform and it disables u_char on
another. We should unify our defines first. So I just dropped this u_char
thing out. Only linuxirda.h depends on it, so I fixed it too.

It can compile on Linux, FreeBSD 4.5 (I had no X, so I had to --without-x)
and Solaris 9. But killing u_char just killed OpenBSD :-( We talked about
this issue with Pawel on irc, maybe there are an ugly but working solution.
