But the function names use leading __ in both Solaris and glibc, and I
expect that if they are ever standardized they'll be standardized with
the leading __.  So for this particular case I suggest using names
with leading __, at least in user code, as that will keep the code
more portable.  Gnulib can do "#define __fpurge rpl__fpurge" if
necessary (which I don't think will be needed).
