Also, a great example of how *NOT* to design an API. All of its data 
structures are exposed to the user as "void *" instead of actual types. This 
means the compiler cannot catch you if you accidentally pass the wrong handle 
to a particular API function. The whole thing is a mess of uncaught logic errors.
