I'm using Xcode, but this sample code was developed in CodeWarrior 2-3 years
ago.  They didn't build it in Tiger because they would have found the GCC4
bug with #pragma pack.

If Xcode undefs pascal, why the compilation complaint when I use the pascal
keyword on the typedef?  If Xcode supports the pascal keyword in front of
function decls, why wouldn't it support it in front of
function-pointer-typedefs?
