Jason,

This is necessary to avoid compilation errors using xlC on AIX.  Note that 
I'm not sure how to convince swig to generate this in the first place!  
I've used swig in the past, but always found it more painful than direct 
XS coding so I'm not up on the nitpicky details anymore.

I never did make any progress in getting an AIX build to pass all the 
tests.  So far I've tried xlC 3.6.6, VAC++ latest and the so-called "linux 
affinity" g++ for AIX 4.3.3.  The xlC build comes the closest to working, 
but exception propagation is quite broken for some of the tests.  VAC++ 
just gives the same result.  g++ is hopeless (module segfaults immediately 
on load) and would probably require a Perl built with gcc (mine are all 
built with xlc), as the standard AIX build uses loadAndInit() to perform 
static initialization of C++ constructs - failing miserably against g++ 
object output.

As soon as I figure out how to use the new idebug debugger, I'll try again 
to trace the problem.  xldb seems to have serious problems following the 
threading...
