Don't worry, I didn't revert any of those deliberate original
changes. However, making all stub tables static, and then
use an extra pointer to make the main stub table accessible
was rather clumsy. Therefore I extended genStubs.tcl to find
out which one is intended to be exported. It's a simplification,
retaining the original idea. In that process, I changed the name
of the stub table symbols, later discovering that that was
not necessary at all. So I reverted part of my own later changes.
