Thanks a lot!  I'm glad we eventually were able to agree.

I've checked this in.  Anyone, please let me know if it causes some
trouble (or if you expect it to find expat and it doesn't).

Meanwhile, I'm updating the vec.c/vec.h and flash support patches
to use this.  I'll repost them soon, including style corrections
where needed; hopefully tomorrow, but my track record for things I said
I'd have done by the next day is not great.
