I've looked at the threads and it does seem as though we have similar
aims, but the include files I want are all on the filesystem, I just
need to adjust the paths :-)

I've added the function but when it's called dict and ctxt are NULL. How
do I set my own data pointer to be passed into the function? Are there
any good examples of it's usage available?

Sorry to be a pain and thanks for your help thus far!
