The first variant proposed by Ruslan had Valentina_ as prefix for all
calls, so at least it was painfully clear where they are coming from.
The second variant has only V up front that is common and that makes
me uncomfortable.

Will that work same for Win, OSX, and OS9? I was not aware that a
single external can have multiple entry points. Oh, wait, what is
that about mapping an external to a transcript handler?
