+Memory Allocation
+  We have a CONFIG_BUFFER mechanism that lets us select whether to do memory
+  allocation on the stack or the heap.  Unfortunately, we're not using it much.
+  We need to audit our memory allocations and turn a lot of malloc/free calls
+  into RESERVE_CONFIG_BUFFER/RELEASE_CONFIG_BUFFER.
+  
+  And while we're at it, many of the CONFIG_FEATURE_CLEAN_UP #ifdefs will be
+  optimized out by the compiler in the stack allocation case (since there's no
+  free for an alloca()), and this means that various cleanup loops that just
+  call free might also be optimized out by the compiler if written right, so
+  we can yank those #ifdefs too, and generally clean up the code.
