`new' and `delete' are C++ keywords.  In C++ programs, the `main'
function *must* return an int.  If you compile with -Wall the compiler
will inform you of this, and tell you that it's changing the return
type to `int'.  If you don't use -Wall then the compiler will do it
anyway, but it just won't tell you about it.
