Cool, I had a look through your changes and they all seemed fine to
me.  In particular, moving the header comments to the ... header ...
file seemed like a smart move. =)

Well, the alternative is iterating through the array each time you
want to add something until you hit a NULL pointer, and adding the new
item at that point.  Considering we're only chewing up an extra 4 *
sizeof(pointer) = 16 bytes in the struct, it seems like a reasonable
price to pay for the convenience.

What is it about the extra fields that makes you unhappy?

Cheers,
