Another crude but effective way to make more sense out of the header file
nonsense is to change all pointers to structures into ULONGs.  This will
remain portable (with MANX and lattice).  Only those structures that have
nested structures in them cannot be fixed this way.

In the programs that use particular structures, you should cast the ULONG
back into a pointer to the structure of appropriate type.  This may sound
clumsy, but it will make a lot of 'C' source code generate smaller object
code!
