i looked at the code a while ago and it took me a long time to figure
out what the hell it was doing.
while i appreciate the need for speed (and, indeed, given the comments
in the code, it is very significant), i don't see why we have to hack
FILE internals to do this -- why not just use the *real* interface ?
that's the question that i've never been able to answer.
.mrg.
ps: will there be some 'pre-release' that we can test ? 2 years is
a long time and i'm sure that the different patches that will be added
will conflict in someways (mmm, portability).
