That might work, too. Feel free to try out whatever you think will
work for your project. BTW, Lafcadio is LGPL, too.

I went ahead and fixed all the syntax errors (mostly adding a lot of
parenthesis) and all the tests run fine as of the last CVS checkin,
but you have to suppress warnings or else the output's pretty messy.
I'm planning on fixing all the warnings in the next day or so.

If you want to email me code that fixes warnings, that'd be great.
Otherwise I can just handle it on my own, too.

You're welcome!
