Thanks Cristian.

I'd seen that is was defined in main.cpp, and hadn't twigged that it
wouldn't be accessible from a plugin.  I should have, as I remember
stumbling into something similar a while back.

To be sure I understand what you're saying, I need to copy that 'void
timetrace(const char *txt)' into the plugin so that it is accessible?

I had to add those because of the other linking problems I encountered
on the relocation of the plugin.  Does that suggest that really, those
errors should be resolved in a similar way?  Oh, dear.
