Before I forget to explain this: I've changed the use of __P for some
of the prototypes to __PMT. If you take a look at the sys/cdefs.h
change You'll see why. Adding this throw() stuff helps the C++
compiler to optimize the code better, once it is implemented. And
since it does not cost us anything I made the change now.
The MT in __PMT stands for "might throw".
