Sounds like a good idea to me.  The more stuff that we pull out into lib
the better.

BTW, while we're on that topic, would you mind if I pulled syspagesize out
of lib/mmap.c and instead just wrote a replacement for getpagesize for
systems that don't have it and then modified INN to just use getpagesize
everywhere?  It looks like there are uses in the storage handlers that
this would simplify as well.
