Yes, now that I've spent more time with the code, I realize it's not as
bad as a lot of other Unix code I've seen. I think the problem is that
there are some conventions used in this project, that aren't immediately
obvious. I've taken the liberty of adding some more text to the src/notes
file, which will hopefully save others some frustation. So, Miller,
Guenter, let me know what I should do with my additions.

But these prototypes aren't for local functions, they are for functions in
other modules. I see from src/notes, that this was actually intentional,
so I guess it's just a matter of varying preferences.
