I often have C functions that I call from RPG.  I've put the RPG prototypes to
those C functions in the C header files along with the function prototypes.  To
C, they're comments, and with the RPG compiler directives, the C code is not
copied during during an RPG compile.

Works great for me.  But I'm curious to know what other people think of this.
