No Posix real-time priority in Linux ??

SubjectNo Posix real-time priority in Linux ??
Hi, I just downloaded the latest sources from the bath site, and can't
seem to find the code that sets real-time priority and locks memory.

Is this an oversight, or is it intentionally left out? I notice that the
code is there (well, still no memlock), in the unoficial Linux version. 
However, I had problems building that version (running csound results in
"error loading dynamic libraries, xfilename not found"). 

Since the build process seems much simpler for the official version, and
since I can't see the reason for a seperate distribution of essentially
the same program, I guess I'll locally modify my code to add the
set_scheduler call. But it would be helpfull for me to know if there was
a reason not to include it (it *is* absoutely needed on Linux for
real-time work, at least on my machine).

I do not have access to the sources of the other Linux version; the
files on the Bath server are the files I use for all builds.  I
incorporate operating system specific code as I can, but if I am not
given it it does not get incorporated.  Actually the Linux system is
the main one I use, together with SGI.
