Unfortunately, I can't compile psaux.c:

Error   : object 'ps_table_funcs' redefined
psmodule.c line 6   const PS_Table_Funcs    ps_table_funcs =

Error   : object 't1_parser_funcs' redefined

I know there were similar problems with various drivers in earlier
versions, but they disappeared after you changed something... I don't know
what exactly :-(

It has something to do with my compiler not liking static forward
declarations for structs. Sorry, I can't be more precise, I'm simply too
incompetent...

A few weeks is more like it... I'll have a look if I can see what exactly I
meant back then. In the meantime, I'll just take your word ;-)
