  Well actually that's part of the things I changed. I didn't want
to add trio_ prefixes in the code. Maybe a solution based on macros
in the xmlconfig.h header will allow to get back to a less patched trio
file and avoid exporting what should be a system funtion (IMHO this was
safe since linkers should not raise errors when 2 libraries exports
the same symbol, they will raise problem when this happen in .o files
though).
