Oh, I just assumed it was the same issue. So you were able to compile
Agar successfully under VC2008 without any problems, other than the
missing .LIB?

Yes, for some reason that was not needed with 2005. The headers in the
source .zip (but not the tar.gz) are now generated to include these
declarations. Please give it a try:

Please try again with 1.3.3-rc2 and let me know if the LIB is produced
as expected.

Thanks, I'll give -pedantic-errors a try.

That's ok, this was the only instance of a variadic macro in Agar. It was
a previously undocumented interface and it was removed in 1.3.3.
