The following compiles, but has not yet been run-tested.

In addition to the diff from the 1.7 i8kutils release to the 1.17
release, I made the new globals static as per Rusty's namespace
pollution patch yesterday, and removed the reference to an include no
longer in 2.5.

It is also available from:

bk://cloos.bkbits.net/i8k-1.17

ChangeSet@1.1025, 2003-01-14 13:23:37-05:00, cloos@lugabout.jhcloos.org
Upgrade i8k.c to version from i8kutils-1.17
