  @brief Sets up the mcf_xx functions
  @details
  There is no (efficient) way to determine if an mcf_xx macro has already been
  invoked.  So, we make use of a global macro variable list to keep track.
 
  Usage:
 
      %mcf_init(MCF_LENGTH)
 
  Returns:
 
  > 1 (if already initialised) else 0
 
  @param [in] func The function to be initialised
