 ACK. But I'd like to go some steps further:

 * introduce new macros
     MC_MEM_ALLOC_Z()    -> alloc on heap, zero'ing
     MC_MEM_ALLOC_U()    -> alloc on heap, uninitialized
     MC_MEM_FREE()       -> free from stack
     MC_MEM_REALLOC()    -> re-allocate (added space uninitialized)
     MC_STACK_ALLOC()    -> allocate on stack

 * replace all other calls to malloc()+friends, mc_alloc()+co,
   by calling these macros


 Could also be put into src/util.h
 (BTW: we dont need any .c file for that)


 ACK.


 What should this mcglib actually contain ?
