hmm, what gives you that impression?

well, hopefully the TODO stuff will stick out now as something to work on
(rather than just errors, which you never know are true errors or not).
since at least andre is actively working on the include tests, I'll wait for
him to weigh in before going forward. I'm still confused by the
flastmod/fsize stuff anyway.
