Well, we can try it then -- drop rdoff by _one_ commit, and if people
start complaing about it, we simply revert the commit.

At the moment I walking throught the sources looking for parts of code
which can be ripped off. One of them -- custom malloc/free tracker.
There are a bunch to memory trackers (valgrind and such) so I think
we don't need our trivial one.
