r10044 should fix this for you. For some reason the *nix Perl builds
don't see init_ra_libs as a bareword. Technically, if a sub is already
declared you can get away with this. I wonder if the XS stuff is doing
things a little different on Windows than on Perl, causing the symbol
not to be predeclared.

I think I got all the cases. Plus turned on strict for all our files
and tightened up what we turn strict off for.

Let me know if you run into more errors...

Thanks for taking the time to do this.
