    Just one thought: my module uses a character string, yours' uses an
    integer.  How's a po' module to know?  My module goes to scan your 
    application's integer... possible "kaboom"?
    
    32 bits is a lot of space; I'd think it's probably enough... but since a
    pointer is very often 64bits, why don't you think a 64-bit integer would
    fly? (I think I missed something there.)
