no, no, no... you can get encouragement _free_ with every subscription!

yep, more symbols need to be explicitly exported.  In mozart.h this is
done using macro `ozdeclspec'.  Clearly, this has to be done for more
symbols.  If you figure it out, submit a patch and we'll definitely
consider it for inclusion in the distribution.

2.91??? That was released on March 15, 1999.  It is probably way too
ancient for the current release of Mozart.  I don't even want to
speculate on what might go wrong and we don't have the manpower to do
archeological debugging :-)
