Note that if you do check out the CVS tree and run it with purify (which
would be cool), it would be additionally cool if you could check out SF
patch #100803:

http://sourceforge.net/patch/?func=detailpatch&patch_id=100803&group_id=5470

It's a patch that adds ANSI C prototypes and function declarations to the
module, but noone has been able to sufficiently test it.
