ps are in order. Leo tended to assume all pointers could equally well point anywhere, and often ignored alignment issues. He often declared stuff (void *) when it really should have been something more specific. Unfortunately, he also tended to reject patches to try to clean it up.

The following patch brings the MANIFEST file up-to-date with recent additions. I haven't committed this in case some other reorganization (e.g. moving stuff to a src/ or dev/ or doc/ directory) is underway. There are also a few minor shuffles as I've re-sorted the MANIFEST. Andy
