Code rot. 1.3.1 compiled OK on the day it was released.  :-)

ssg.h is correct - I've modified the viewer program so that'll be fixed in
1.4.0.  Prepending the '_' is NOT the correct solution (although it works). We
put the '_' there deliberately to make code that was written using those symbols
go wrong.  Replace 'SSG_TYPE_XXXXX' with 'ssgTypeXXXX()'...or just wait for 1.4.0.

My latest version on my PC at home doesn't...but it won't take much to fix it.

Yes...just as soon as I catch my breath!

Both TuxKart and TuxAQFH will need to be updated - hopefully I'll do that sometime
a day or two after PLIB 1.4.0 hits the streets and make announcements about it then.

PPE should run with 1.4.0 directly because it's been tracking the CVS version of
PLIB.

We aren't *talking* about FlightGear.   :-(

Go look at the archives of the plib-devel list for the past 24 hours and you'll
see why.
