[Xotcl] gcc4 compatibility issue in xotcl-1.3.6

Dear all,
When using a recent gcc-compiler of the 4.x family, xotcl fails to
compile due to a compatibility issue with respect to declaring nested
functions *static*. xotcl.c, however, currently contains one static
nested function and therefore breaks when using gcc4. The following
error is reported back by make:
############## snip ##############
./generic/xotcl.c: In function 'XOTcl_ThreadExitProc':
./generic/xotcl.c:10791: error: invalid storage class for function
'XOTcl_ExitProc'
./generic/xotcl.c:10792: error: 'XOTcl_ExitProc' undeclared (first use
in this function)
./generic/xotcl.c:10792: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported
only once
./generic/xotcl.c:10792: error: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [xotcl.o] Error 1
############## snip ##############
To resolve the issue, the nested function XOTcl_ExitProc has to be moved
to the top level. A patch is attached to the email. The patched version
compiles perfectly and passes the entire bunch of tests.
regards,
//stefan
