The header works as either C or C++.  There is a bug in it; it uses the
type `size_t' to declare the functions, but neglects to define it
first.  You can work around this by including <sys/types.h> or another
header which does define `size_t' before including <sys/movedata.h>.

This is fixed in the 2.02 beta.
