Doh, of course. Well, for the moment I'll just put in the #ifndef.
FWIW, it looks like a large part of the bloat in the newer file is
in-line documentation, which we hardly need to include in our
distribution. I'll leave it to someone more familiar with Perl to
determine whether we want to try to use a slimmed-down copy of the
up-to-date output.
