Note that this should be fixed in r1105

Tobi, please apply the following cosmetic hunks:
- NEWS mention the new file accessors
- rrd_update.c: remove unused some cruft
cheers,

============
Major Changes between 1.2.x and 1.3.x
+File access methods
+-------------------
+* introduced file-accessor functions rrd_read/rrd_seek/rrd_write
+* implemented full mmap-based file access with madvise hints for improved
+ scalability, much reduced memory-footprint and much less blocking on
+ disk
+* implemented optional full file-descriptor access instead of FILE* access
+
Graphing
--------
* libart has been replaced by cairo/pango
