I updated my installation before trying this out, but that may
have been too early :). I will try again asap.

The macro definition with the ellipsis caused problems under MSVC/C++ 6.0
- it does not like them. That is why I changed the macro. A very brief
inspection seemed to show calls with only one argument. Hence the
change. (MSVC/C++ 6.0 does _not_ complain about the two calls I found
just now with more than one argument. Odd.)
