Sigh, the world is complicated. We just had an instance where this broke source code compatibility in NSS because prlink.h was added to a new NSS public header and the lack of ansi compatibility broke several packages.

I just did a search through the NSPR headers and found numerous uses of void in void returning functions, including such mainstays as PR_NewLock(). Is there really any doubt that all compiliers that handle NSPR will handle the voids just fine?
