it is true that they might consider them to be a feature!  But
if it is a feature, then that presumably means that the plugin
should do something with them rather than throwing them away.
Another possibility is that they agree that it's a bug but don't
think it's important enough to fix (and won't take a patch).
Finally, these problems may have been fixed in mainline already.
I'd rather worry about all of this later - for the moment I just
want to get the plugin compiling, and these routines were using
a bunch of stuff that doesn't seem to exist in mainline.

Ciao,

Duncan.
