I have a project that tries to return a struct * to perl, but the
compilation of the stub fails with a syntax error:

To make everyone's life easier, I've put the entire example that reproduces
this problem up on http://www.grimoire7.com/teststruct.zip. Feel free to
download the archive and play with the code. Please NOTE: This is NOT a
syntax error in my library - it's an error in the c code generated from the
.xs file. Unfortunately, I'm not terribly skilled in the underlying guts of
how this all works - so for me it's a broken abstraction.
I'm using the latest 600 build right from www.activestate.com.
Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks.
