This sounds reasonable, I'll wait until David finds out what prototype
his vax-ultrix is looking for, just to see if we might have a problem
with conflicting prototypes.  I think using 'void *' instead of PTR is
probably a good idea too.  Looking around I see some declarations
provided when the HAVE_DECL macros are not defined have argument lists
and some don't.  Moving in the direction of providing them on all
declarations seems like the right way to go.
