Cool.

I see... I've not looked at the new code yet, but if I come up with any
suggestions, I'll pass them on. 

In the meantime, I need to get NIT support working, so I'll start
implementing that tomorrow. 

On a related note, I was finding it hard to diagnose problems in the
library (and I was a bit bored this afternoon :), so I implemented lots
of functions which dump the tables and descriptors out as XML to a
supplied stream. Would this be a good thing to have in the main library?
I can put a patch of this code together if people think so.
