;-) > Would you be willing to create a gnulib module from this, for Sam? > > For Sam and anyone else interested, sure. What needs to be done? Create a .h file with the specification of the function. Create a .c file with the implementation. Decide whether to copy the mksyms script into gnulib or use a different approach. Create a module description. Polish, test, and finally submit the result here. Bruno -- In memoriam Larisa Yudina <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larisa_Yudina>
