* Makefile.in: Note dependencies on bucomm.h.

(cplus-dem.o): Link c++filt with version.o.

	* strings.c: Include bucomm.h and add prototypes to other decls.
	Remove -h option.

	* bucomm.h: Declare xrealloc.

	* nm.c, objcopy.c, objdump.c, size.c, strings.c (main, usage): Add
	--help option.  Put "GNU" in the version message.
	(usage): Take stream and exit status as args.
	(main): Pass new args to usage.

The C++ language provides function overloading, which means that you can
write many functions with the same name (providing each takes parameters
of different types). All C++ function names are encoded into a
low-level assembly label (in some circles this is described as
low-level assembly label (this process is known as
@dfn{mangling}). The @code{c++filt} program does the inverse mapping: it
decodes (@dfn{demangles}) low-level names into user-level names so that
the linker can keep these overloaded functions from clashing.

All results are printed on the standard output.
