If you'd really want to put all these function into one libfile, then
you could create a bunch of files like cmsv_rlong.pro , cmsv_rstring.pro
, etc., all containing just the one line "@cmsvlib.pro".
The one *big* problem with this is that automatic compilation stops once
the function is encountered, leaving part of the library uncompiled.
Things will get compiled twice or more. Worse, if your "user-accessible"
functions call each other, they might get "compiled while active" and
return in the middle of execution. The only solution I see is to call an
(empty) cmsvlib procedure first thing in each function. Complicated
again...

But don't let me keep you. I desperately need some smarter save/restore
functionality!
