The original, poorly conceived plan for C Set/2 was to support some functions
(such as kbhit()) only temporarily, to aid migration from other compilers.
It has now been realized that the need for these functions is not going
to go away, and so as of the next release (available now in beta form
for members of the DAP) the migration library is going to be folded
into the extension library.   -tim
