I just thought I'd try "-std=c89" (equivalent to "-ansi") to see what
would happen.  We've both goofed and incorrectly mixed code and
declarations.  It'd be nice if the compiler would help prevent our
releasing such mistakes.  Unfortunately, the loss of "uint" is
significant and I don't presently have time to tweak the headers.
