I've attached the files bryant.c and bryant.h.  The initialisation
occurs in the function initRep() and I have added a class bryant_init
which calls this function in its constructor.

Peter: AFAICT after looking through all the macro definitions, the
first time initRep() is called it just sets a whole lot of static
variables to 0.  Since these variables should be automatically
initialised to zero anyway, is there any reason why the initial call
to initRep() is needed?
