OK.  It sounds like this is the key point to remember.  Any particular
library or main program will only call one of the two interfaces and
thus we don't have a mixing problem.

This was one of the key points I was missing.  With your explaination
this aspect of the code makes much more sense.

I've got your patch intmy tree and I'll set up a build overnight.

I think we also need to install Paul Eggert's most recent change to
write_c_file_glob, then tweak it to use the new names.
