* var.c: we need stdint.h on some platforms to get uint32_t
* unit-test/Makefile: we need to supress the specific error
for RE substitution error in modmisc, since it varies accross
different OS.
from ChangeLog:
o cond.c: do not eval unnecessary terms of conditionals.
o meta.c: report error if lseek in filemon_read fails
o str.c: performance improvement for Str_Match for multiple '*'
o dieQuietly: supress the failure output from make
when failing node is a sub-make or a sibling failed.
This cuts down greatly on unhelpful noise at the end of
build log. Disabled by -dj or .MAKE.DIE_QUIETLY=no
o unit test for :Or
