OK, I see. It wouldn't be too hard to fix this sort of thing, except that I
dont't really feel kike installing gcc 2.9, for fear of breaking my 3.2
installation, which I'm using quite extensively for other projects. If you
would care to send me a patch list, I'd be quite happy to adopt it.

On the other hand, what do others think? Is it worth maintaining 2.9
compatibility, simce I'm almost bound to unwittingly break it again in the
future?
