The purpose of lpc-ext is to offer a unified extension interface for
DGD and Hydra.  If extensions are still going to be incompatible with
one of them, there isn't much point in using the interface, and you
might as well hack the DGD sourcecode directly.  The format of kfuns
in dgd/src/kfun/*.c is likely to remain stable in the future, so there
isn't much danger of your code becoming incompatible at this point.
