Hi Felix,

A handful of functions were used before they were declared, I think the add/removeJumpButtons and add/removePlaymodeButtons functions.  Most of the functions were not used before their definitions and did not cause warnings though.  I thought that doing all of the undeclared functions would be better than just the ones that caused warnings, thus the long list.

I'll resend the patch with the IBActions moved to the header file in a bit.

As an aside, having different methods named fwd: and forward: (and bwd: and backward:) can't be good for clarity.

Thanks,
Brendon Justin
