Hmm, that was a typo, and I didn't notice even when I found I had to
include kwlist_d.h in ecpg/keywords.c. :-( I've fixed both of those
in the attached v6.
As far as dependencies, I'm far from sure I have it up to par. That
piece could use some discussion.

If it does, for v6 I've also done the rebase, updated the copyright
