Any specific reason for the "sane-" prefix? I think it would make more
sense if it was just named ctype.h: see below.

I'm not sure what this has to do with sanity, but this is indeed defined
in ctype.c, so it's easier to justify moving this out if the criterion
was "what's in ctype.c" rather than "what's related to sane ctypes".

> -extern const signed char hexval_table[256];

And this one has nothing to do with ctypes or sanity, but rather, what's
considered to be a hex character. I think we need another patch to move
this to hex.h.

Same for this one.

With the above suggestions, I think we do get what we want - a split
between things that make ctype more sane and between other compat stuff,
and also a split between those two and more platform-agnostic things
like what a hex character is.
