C99's definition of inline functions really sucks --- it's awkward to
use, and essentially doesn't work at all for declaring inlines in header
files, which would be the main use if we wanted to replace macros with
inlines. I'm much happier using gcc's version of inline where we really
need it (which is not that many places anyway).
