My email address is as per my signature below.  I have not updated check
to deal with ANSI C syntax (and other problems in the original, such as
not allowing redefinition of typedef names as variables in inner scopes).
This is partly due to lack of time, but mostly because I now have no need.
The AT&T V.4 lint does most of the checking I want.  One day, I may get
round to fixing 'check'.
