I have deliberately not looked at the source code of libiberty at all,
so that nobody could accuse me of 'using' GPL-ed source for something
that I wish to release under QPL (it sucks, but the main reason I
reinvented the wheel and wrote my own demangler is the license).

Right now I am attacked on the fact that my library (libcwd) is *linking*
with libbfd, which is released under GPL - and hence libcwd should be
GPL too.  And then people say GPL is not a virus :/

Anyway... I suppose we're all grown-up people with common sense; so
I'll try not to make a problem of this (hopefully nobody will make it
a problem for me too)... I'll have a look at libiberties testsuite
and see if I can come up with a test case.
