OK. Code was in program for testing purposes, if you consider that
it is production quality - here is diff against CVS version of 
library. It compiled and worked for me. Also there is a patch for 
docs which describes the new behaviour and corrects a typo ("#" char 
before function prototype).

BTW, I made "diff -u" not "diff -c", but I think you will accept that? :)

Bye,
