  Okay, the patch looks fine to me, things looks simple and without
risk. I have ony one stylistic issue, which is that I usually prefer to
have the comment about the funtions and its parameter in the C code
rather than on the header (keeping it closer to the code means one
more easilly update/fix it, and if you use something like ctags
to get to the function implementation you see the comment immediately
but it's cosmetic).

   +1 for me,

Daniel
