Attached is a diff between my current working copy and the abi CVS -
except for the Psion exporter, which does not export yet and so is
hardly CVS material. Use this patch instead of any I sent earlier,
except that it does not include the psiconv library module, which still
can be found at http://huizen.dds.nl/~frodol/psiconv/psiconv-abipeer.tgz

The only probably cause of trouble is I may have used functions which
are not available in all libc's. I have already caught strdup, but
there may be others - I am hardly an expert on comparative libc
anatomy. If others are found, they should be added to configure.in
to be processed by autoconf, and to the `compat' directory. I will
be happy to do that, of course.
