I would really like to get a clearer understanding of this file.
This file is so full of #ifdef that I never really understood much of it.
Neverthelees, I once sent a patch (without really expecting that it
would be accepted)
to allow case insensitive expression parsing which is
included in my patch to the gdb-5.0 version for
support of pascal language.

and

No decision to change to POSIX entry points were made since
(unless I missed something, which is of course highly possible)
