Alas, Efence doesn't provide nearly the functionality that purify does.
(API checking, etc). njamd (not just another malloc debugger) is better,
but still not quite there.

I tried to modify Insure++ for win32 to use cygwin's gcc instead of VC6,
but it screwed up my insure++ install so badly I had to remove and
reinstall it.

If I ever get any of this stuff working, I'll let the list know (udner the
grand assumption it isn't considered off-topic :).
