Description mph 1998-01-08 22:32:02 UTC 
The port of libranlib (a random number library) does not install the
header file ranlib.h.  That's bad, because many of the library functions
return floats, and therefore prototypes are a Good Thing.

Fix: A patch follows, which installs ranlib.h in the distribution to
$(PREFIX)/include/ranlib.h.

The problem here is that we also have a system header file
/usr/include/ranlib.h, so we end up with code that depends on the
order in which we search for header files.  Sigh.  Does anyone
have a better idea?
