I probably should've never messed with the can of worms.  Unfortunately,
these data types can exist in all manner of places on different systems
and with conflicting definitions... I search for some ./configure hacks
to deal with it, but never implemented them since d.area is still
fundamentally broken.

Note: I'm trying to put a replacement together for d.area (actually, I
have one already but the license for some borrowed code is too
restrictive).  Also, d.area is only a drawing routine.  I don't know
where that bit about reporting area/perimeter info comes from, but it
was never in the code when I started hacking on it.

If you'd like to try a d.area for "non-commercial use only" (the bad
license restriction)  I can send or make available a tarball (no uint8_t
type involved!).
