Hi,

I don't exactly disagree with you myself and would prefer to keep 
declarations at top, but I think as done now is exactly what Bjorn wants 
for the specific case where __free() is used. This was discussed earlier 
on the list.

If I misunderstood the conclusion of the earlier cleanup related 
discussion, can you please correct me Bjorn?
