Description: A library of miscellaneous stuff
 The mLib library provides various handy utilities, including
   * yet another options parser, like GNU getopt but more so;
   * a simple but efficient universal hashing family;
   * a suite for writing event-driven select-based servers;
   * a simple exception-handling system, based on longjmp;
   * dynamically resizing strings and arrays;
   * a resizing hashtable;
   * base64 and hex encoding and decoding; and
   * a simple background DNS resolver.
 .
 Not all of the features of mLib are available (or, indeed, very useful) in
 Python.  For example, Python has its own exception system, and different
 ideas about how strings work.
