I'm afraid that I'm responsible for many of them. I haven't had the
time or patience to get them folded back into glibc.
I recall that part of the problem was that Ulrich Drepper rejected K&R
compatibility changes, and so I couldn't make the files identical.
glibc now assumes C99, so we still have the problem with gnulib (which
now can assume C89 in places other than regex).

Thanks, but if it takes more than five minutes to reconstruct please
don't bother, as I can do the legwork and things will probably mutate
again anyway before I have time to try a merge.
