On CodeWarrior for Palm OS release 7, MSL is provided for two reasons:
1) On Mac OS, if you build a program with the Palm OS Simulator, some of
the Palm OS headers include ANSI C header files.
2) It is possible to use the freestanding subset of the ANSI C headers
on Palm OS. These are the headers which are only macros and type
definitions and provide information about the compiler. These include
stdarg.h, stddef.h, and limits.h.
