Ok, the first hurdle for this looks like the fact that we define
USE_STRUCT_CALLBACKS while the app for which libyahoo2 was included
into fedora (freehoo) does not seem to use it.

Libyahoo2 needs to do this a little more flexibly so that one has the
option of either using the struct or defining functions individually.
I'll see how difficult that is to change.
