========================
TODO LIST for libdatablk
JULY 22, 1999
Update December 17 2000
========================

Please let me (Nick) know if you are going to tackle any
of this. These are roughly in order of importance.

* Conversion tools (tostr, tonum, etc.. maybe also sprintf-like thing)

* Comparison (eq/lessthan/greaterthan.. should be called like eqopr, ltopr)

* Math (plus, minus.. for strings, too (strcat them, etc).. should be
  called like plusopr)

(all of the above to minimize the need for the programmer to convert between 
 Datablks and native values)

* Impliment btrees

* Impliment hashlists (associative arrays) maybe based on the btree

* More complete autoconf support, it basically does nothing currently (add 
  config.h, fallbacks, improve portability)

* Maybe use libtool and maybe make a shared library

* Fix all the FIXMEs (except the ones about Object Instances).

* Tighten up memory usage, maybe use a gang allocator to reduce malloc 
  overhead

* fix stupid mistakes

* strip out useless cruft

* clean up API and maybe break up the header file by submodule
