__Please remove them before this argument erupts again!  This

PS: BTW, I do believe (and may be agree with Terry?) that
function prototypes are entirely unnecessary but *only if* a
smarter linker exists that does proper type checking.  If
Terry wrote such a linker, people would be immensely grateful
to him.

Similarly, if Terry were to make the changes to the FreeBSD
kernel to compile it with TenDRA (and make it work) at least
I would be very grateful to him -- I do think relying so much
on GCC is a bad idea but I am realistic (and lazy) enough to
not want to fix that on my own.
