Rare be it for me to suggest GLib, but we already appear to have
range_list_insert() making use of GList for an ordered list of Ranges.
Doesn't this function become a lot easier if we take a sorted GList,
walk it to create the inverse, and return a new GList of the inverted
Ranges?  Seems the initial sorted GList would be created by making use
of the existing range_list_insert() function.  Thanks,

Alex
