How about if we define a new type in gp_types.h

#undef CHAROUT
#ifdef KR		/* I don't know what the proper test is for K&R */
#typedef int CHAROUT
#else
#typedef char CHAROUT
#endif

and then change all the enhanced text function with a char argument
to have a CHAROUT argument instead.  That reduces the chance of
breaking compilation on platforms for which the existing code works,
and still allows us to accommodate K&R's dislike of char arguments.
e.g.
	static void do_enh_writec __PROTO((CHAROUT c));
