Here's another gotcha, when trying to get Manx (and possibly
Lettuce) up and running under 2.0.

When compiling the prototype files, (listed out in "all_protos.h")
alib_protos.h calls libraries/mathffp.h. Mathffp.h declares
the transendental routines, SPXXX() (SPSin(), SPCos(), etc).
These are the K&R declarations, "float SPSin();". This will cause
conflicts with the prototypes in mathffp_protos.h. Giving the
Manx "incompatible function declarations" error.

alib_protos.h doesn't seem to need any of the math declarations, so
you can get rid of the call.

Any opinions are my own since nobody else would ever want them.
