Another important thing: if any of you out there is using home-written C 
programs which link to libgretl, there are very high chances that your 
program will not work anymore with the version of libgretl which is now in 
CVS.

You _may_ be ok if your program only uses matrices, but all the functions 
that handle series and lots of functions related to the "genr" apparatus 
have changed their APIs, so if you try to run your older executable with 
the new libgretl.so, you'll get a segfault or worse (your dog may catch 
fire and your partner may turn into a yeti).
