Xuejun and John: can you remind me, is there a reason for these files to be in
the `runtime' directory, not `src'?

  windows/_rand48.c
  windows/lrand48.c
  windows/rand48.h
  windows/srand48.c

I dug up the history of these files in the SVN logs (they haven't been modified
since we moved to git!).  It looks like I moved them into `runtime', from
`src', along with the rest of the "generated-program runtime files."

But unless I am overlooking something, we only need to use these files when
building Csmith itself.  There is no code-generation option that would cause a
generated program to need to link with these files, is there?

I see that `windows/stdint.h' needs to stay as part of the runtime, though.
(And indeed, we don't need it to build Csmith.)

Thanks ---

Eric.
