Well, it goes into the header for the interface as size32;  If I were to
write a program that tries to use the interface, and didn't have `size32'
declared in _its_ code, here's what I get:

cc     foo.c   -o foo
In file included from foo.c:1:
/usr/include/cdda_interface.h:29: parse error before `size32'

and a long list of other errors caused by that.

I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil.  I simply
suspect that if Microsoft ever met up with the devil, it wouldn't
need an interpreter.
