The missinbg functions are callbacks from the HTML presenter.
The way that the library is structured also makes it impossible to
make a shared library out of it.

Henrik, would it be possible to replace these with pointers-to-functions
that the user can fill in at initialization time?  In my private version,
I've added the following HTextCallback.c module.  It would also cure
LAZARESCU's problem, since the missing routines are not called at run time
in the scenario that the message describes.
