I am using Abigails code on a 1.2p3 driver at the moment without much
probs, performance is better then I had expected from an LPC
implementation, and I don't use it so heavily that it becomes an issue.

I am kindof happy not having a binary implementation.. tho it is quite
possible to do it well, I have seen too many drivers that were vulnerable
to format string related bugs with serious security consequences, and its
not that hard to do it right, but so much easier to do it wrong ;P
