It's no big secret or mystery - I only mentioned it because I had
planned to start work on it quite soon :)
Basically it is to implement properly the current pointer tracking code
in libxl such that allocations via libxl_(sprintf|malloc) and so on are
automatically free'd when returning out of the library to a caller.
Objects returned to callers will still be expected to be free()'d...
Of course, this doesn't address xl tool itself, so fixes there shouldn't
clash or duplicate effort.
