My experience is that I pretty much have to read the code 
to be able to understand it enough to be able to use it.
Otherwise I'm just blindly calling functions that don't do 
what I want then to do.  Then I get frustrated and give up.

Essentially I find code to do what I want and then I 
cut and paste alot.  I'm not sure, but a huge lib may cause
slow linking because of so many functions to search though
and I really hate waiting for an executable.

Anyway, good luck making the lib.  Maybe you can put it
on the web somewhere and post a link to it.  If you find it 
useful, maybe others will too.
