It sounds like the macros in POSIX/SUSv3 was defined very carefully, so as not
to break usages of fgetc & fputc. But I agree there's not much point changing
it.

Please start with my integration patch, which is here:

    http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/djgpp/2.04/

This has nmalloc integrated into the build system and some new test cases that
CB Falconer wrote specially for nmalloc.

Also, please look at the integration notes I posted to djgpp-workers.

Thanks, bye, Rich =]
