Description
On the AIX platform, cmd/samterm fails to compile and produces the following error:
$ go install
# 9fans.net/go/cmd/samterm
./unix.go:25:17: undefined: syscall.Mkfifo
./unix.go:36:22: undefined: syscall.Mkfifo
This is because on AIX mkfifo is not a kernel function and isn't present in the syscall package. However, it is implemented for AIX in the unix package. The following modification allows samterm to compile:
diff --git a/cmd/samterm/unix.go b/cmd/samterm/unix.go
index 665dbe8..933e76c 100644

I will set up a pull request soon unless there is an objection.
