----------------------
This is another one of those "object-oriented" C programs. Each "class" is
associated with one program file, which defines a data-structure and a set of
methods that operate on that structure. All the methods take the class data
structure as the first parameter. The exception to this is the _new method,
which is the constructor for the class. It takes whatever initialization
parameters are needed, and returns a pointer to a class structure. The
destructor, if one exists, is canonically named class_delete.
Macros are used for various convenience things, and follow the naming convention
of their C++ or perl counterparts.
In general the code follows the following conventions:
- variables and functions are lower-case. multi-word identifiers are joined
by underbars (like_this).
- tabs are 4 spaces. Avoid using ^I
- braces are always on a line by itself, and line up with the controlling
block construct.
- in general, keep things consistent with the surrounding code
