I must admit I haven't quite kept up with its development recently,
but from what I remember off-hand, there was quite some discussion about
the way it integrated its binary datafile reading with datafile.c.
It essentially blows up the largest routine in all of datafile.c by
yet another factor of two, but with rather little actual connection 
between the new and old portions.  I would have liked to have seen that
cleaned up before it goes into CVS, but it can be delayed until later.
