whiteknight/tt_1910 branch ready for testing

[Andrew Whitworth]

I just pushed a fix for this. It was a bit of a problem with pointers.
This is the kind of issue I would have caught earlier if these
"compile to C" tests would print out warnings as TAP diagnostic
messages. I don't know how hard that would be to do, but if anybody
with a p5 background has some spare time to look into such a
mechanism, I think we would all be very appreciative.

Tests are looking clean for me through a variety of compilers. I'm
going to merge this branch soon unless somebody requests otherwise.
