Works very easily together with the '_P' macros that I was proposing
earlier.
then we can put in whatever we want into those macros: Win32 __declspec,
Unix prototypes for k&r and ansi.
As to generating the def file if needed:
how about having the perl script operate on the cpp out put after
defining
#define _P(param) (WIN32-DEF)
and the incl/excl of algorithms should work and the perl script has an
easier
task of identifying the relevant lines

I am in favor of removing those double prototypes.
