Trying anyway.  Turns out to be quite difficult.  bash will not work
on anything where sizeof int != sizeof char *, or where initialized
char variables take up less than sizeof int bytes, and probably not
with a really smart globally optimizing compiler (I wouldn't recommend
using gcc's inlining just yet).

I have a set of ANSI function prototypes and a complete set of extern
declarations for variables.  My eventual goal is to be able to compile
with PCC (one that supports void) without warnings, and to compile
with gcc -Wall without warnings.

The function types have had to undergo a lot of changes, and some of
the variables have also needed new types.  I don't know when or how
the function prototypes will get merged in to the real source - it may
be a while.
