OS F15 Libraries

Current libraries:

bitmap (v1.5)
- It's a bitmap, it stores bits!
- Wishlist:
  - FLZ/FLS
  - a for_each for ALL bits, which passes the bit # and a bool (???)
    - Rename current to for_each_set
    - Which just begs the question of for_each_unset
      - HMMMMMM...
  - Better FFZ/FFS/for_each
  - Resumeable FFS/FFZ/FLZ/FLS ?
  - Parameter checking
    - Just never give us a bad pointer or bit address and it's fine :p
  - Rename export to data (that's what C++ calls it)???
dyn_array (v1.3)
- It's a vector, it's a stack, it's a deque, it's all your hopes and dreams!
- Supports destructors! Function pointers are fun.
- Wishlist:
  - Better insert_sorted (bsearch-based)
  - shrink_to_fit (add a flag to the struct, have it be read by dyn_request_size_increase)
  - prune (remove those who match a certain criteria (via function pointer))
  - Rename export to data (that's what C++ calls it)???
  - Inserting/removing n objects at a time
    - Dyn's core already supports this, the API doesn't.
      - I didn't want to write more unit tests...
block_store (v2.0.1)
- Generic in-memory block storage system with optional file linking
- Wishlist:
  - Better testing. Flush testing is a little lighter than I'd like, but I'm tired of looking at it
  - Better utility implementation, block based. Actually, may be better to just offload block work to the OS? (the way it is now)
  - Make in-memory optional, add flag (FILE_BACKED) and detect and switch internal functions if it's set
    - mmap? anonymous files? Voodoo?
