If I want to initialize a global variable in an include file, and have
the initialization statement appear only in the main program, I can use
something like

  #ifdef MAIN_PROGRAM
  #define INITIAL_VALUE(x) =x
  #else
  #define INITIAL_VALUE(x)
  #endif
  int i INITIAL_VALUE(1);

But this doesn't work for an array, and I can't figure out anything
which does.  Is there some trick I'm missing?
