Don't use it, use loco_get_local_ifs () like in loco-msg.c. C does not require
a function to be declared before using it, so the compiler does not complain.

Please do not do this.
I want to move eveything out of the loco module exept the library since libtool
does not work too well with executables.

Code wich does not compile is not supposed to be in the CVS.

I am sorry to have to discourage you, but I want to decide the basic structure
of the project myself and I am not done yet. I am for example thinking about
using Guile (Scheme) for Remote Procedure Calls and configuration in the
daemon. 
So please don't commit anything to
the CVS yet, but send patches to this list and I will integrate them. I have
never done anything like this before so I have to try out many things. Having
other people try out things on their own does not help, so please stay away
from the CVS for now.
(This is meant for everybody).

Thanks for your patience
