I've started to work on this, asking help on various channels when
needed. I've replaced the form() and vform() with code that compiles,
but I hit other problems so I could not test yet.
This is near the top of my todo-list, but I lack time, and my lack of
recent practical experience of C++ makes the task tedious and long.

Hm, I had not payed attention to this point. This raises the priority
of the item :|

There are a couple of RC bugs on xdelta2 anyway, and they affect
testing as well, so it is possible to drop it from testing I guess.
But I'd definitely appreciate any help :)
