Another issue that's come up for us recently...

configure defines the specific platform information that several headers need
(like -DLINUX or -DSUNOS).  However, this state isn't exported, so programs
using the library have to reimplement the same checking code, with the same
-D command line options.

I'm thinking that a better solution for this would be a config.h, generated by
autoconf, that both beepcore-c and programs linking in beepcore-c could use.

If I put this together, would you all be interested?  Is there a different way
that would be preferable?
