We're really good, but a problem has come to my attention. I need to fix
this bug in wv and it might require a lot of brain power. Or just that
__sinit() (init static variables to their defaults) be present on everyone's
system (or a similar function). To produce this bug, go open one document.
Now go open another. This dates back to when Caolan wanted wv to run in
batch mode, and not as a library. I'll fix this soon. If you have something
like __sinit() on your platform, please email me. It'll save me a lot of
time.
