That's exactly what I was planning to do (and that's the way the
first version of xheader.c was written). Personally, I feel myself
more comfortable with declaring forward decls for every function
referred to by xhdr_tab, than with the need for always updating the
size.

Yes, I must admit it is. OK, let it be so, then.
