Update.

1999-12-13  Andreas Jaeger  <aj@suse.de>

	* resolv/resolv.h: Remove K&R compatibility.

	* resolv/res_libc.c: Move definition of _res after res_init,
	res_init should use the threaded specific context.

	* resolv/Makefile (+cflags): Remove -Wno-comment since it's not
	needed anymore.

	* locale/langinfo.h: Add constants for wide character collation data.
	* locale/categories.def: Add appropriate entries for collate entries.
	* locale/C-collate.c: Add initializers for new entries.
	* locale/programs/ld-collate.c: Implement output of wide character
	tables.

	* locale/programs/ld-ctype.c (allocate_arrays): Change algorithm to
	compute wide character table size a bit: it now gives up a bit of
	total table size for fewer levels.
