If this is true it's wrong - the current mallinfo structure is in
stdlib.h 

On AIX, OSF1, and Solaris mallinfo lives in malloc.h; on djgpp malloc.h
includes stdlib.h so it works for compatibility purposes.  The elements
in the structure in the current CVS mallinfo are identical to those
other platforms - so we ought to keep it that way (a standard...)

I'm not sure about the other functions currently documented as using
malldbg - but if any of them are compatible with other platforms they
should be in the same include file as the other platforms provide
(probably not malldbg.h).

I also see we don't provide mallopt (which appears to be in the same
malloc.h on all 3 platforms I checked).
