Ah, OK. Well thats one more test, I tested liblo against the original C
implementaion when I started it, and after that against itsself, but I get
nervous about self tested software. I was never sure the old C library was
doing what its supposed to though, couldn't get it to build on a modern
machine, and the only binaries I had were 4 or 5 years old :)

I like the OO-in-C style of programming, its pretty much the best of both
worlds IMHO. C syntax, but no C++ 'features'.
