In my particular case it wouldn't work cleanly.  I have gcc set up
to automatically use -W -Wall -ansi -pedantic (via a 4dos alias). 
However I can still access those things with a #include
<malldbg.h> for compilation from the command line, thus overriding
the -pedantic for those things alone.  IIRC make ignores the
alias, probably by simulating bash.

It is no big deal as long as someone else does the integration
into stdlib.h, but I consider it easier to keep them separate. 
The less I poke my nose into the less damage I will do :-)

Can you make that .txh I sent work correctly and send it back, so
I can edit it again?  I plan to split the malldbg section off from
the malloc section, so only the new stuff gets altered.  I need
the proper outline of things, so I just fill in the blanks.
