checked in. The current code contains at least one other instance where
we will run into this problem. I'll fix it as soon as the current compile
run finishes.

I've also updated README.developer as follows:
-------------------------
Don't initialize variables in their declaration with non-constant
values. Not all compilers support this. E.g. don't use
        guint32 i = somearray[2];
use
        guint32 i;
        i = somearray[2];
instead.
-------------------------

Corrections welcome.

 thanks
         Joerg

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
