If it's any help, what I do in the e2fsprogs suite, and in the
libext2.a, I use INLINE, and #define INLINE to __inline__ on those
platforms which support inline functions.

However, on those platforms that don't support inline functions (and
libext2.a can be compiled on more than just Linux systems), you can just
define INLINE away to nothing.

Personally, I'm amazed that we're making such a big deal over four
underscores. This really isn't a bug deal, guys.... I suppose it's a
slightly higher signal to noise ratio than the discussion of what to
call the "ext2" filesystem, but in the grand scheme of things, this
*really* isn't important.
