[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 448 bytes --]

Here we replace the various fgets() with a mmap() call for the config
file reading, due to the reported performance problems with klibc.

Thanks to Patrick's testing, it makes a very small, close to nothing
speed gain for libc users, but a 6 times speed increase for klibc users
with a 1000 line config file.

I've created a udev_lib.[hc] for this and also moved all the generic
stuff from udev.h in there and uninlined the functions.

thanks,
Kay
