You're still missing my (and I think Bruce's) meaning here.

I *don't* want to compile libftpio -traditional.  I want to add
"#include ftpio.h" and link libftpio to an older application which
must be compiled -traditional.  To do that, the header must be
compilable with -traditional (ie: it needs __P()).
