Er, my suggestion was to make these *static* variables, yes, even though
they are in a header file, and then to document thoroughly that this header
file is *not* for use within a library, but for use directly within the
file defining main.

The current patch is different from that, can you describe how? In general
the comments weren't clear enough for me to be confident in how you expect
this file to be used...
