 Right, it's not in Fedora's main repo. yet. But it should be "real soon
now".

 Well I'm working on the documentation (and lack of it is one reason
I've held off putting it in the Fedora repo.), but there are examples
and test cases for every function. The function that did nothing was
ustr_pool_sys_free()[1], because you couldn't free an individual piece
of memory from a pool (just the pool itself).


[1] Which is now a virtual function of the pool, alas. the documentation
didn't get updated because I forgot I'd written documentation for it!
