	There appears to be a problem using getkey()/getch() in conjunction with
	the GRX library. For example, the following bare bones program compiles
	correctly with "gcc file.c", but not with "gcc file.c -lgrx":

	main()
	{
	    getch();
	    getkey();
	}

	Instead, it gives the error message:
	    getkey.o(.text+24): multiple definition of `getkey (.text)'
	    getkey.o(.text+0): first seen here

	The same error occurs when compiling with "gcc file.c -lgrx -lc",
	but not with "gcc file.c -lc -lgrx".

The 'getkey' module in GRX 1.02 does not contain the '_getch' entry. The
libc.a (or libpc.a ?) version contains both '_getkey' and '_getch'
in the SAME object module.

If you use both and link with libgrx.a first, then the linker pulls in 
the 'getkey' module from GRX, but since '_getch' is still undefined it
pulls in the libc.a (libpc.a) version too. At this point you get a 
second definition for '_getkey'.
