+ * GMQCC does a lot of allocations on shortly lived objects all of which
+ * call down to malloc/free internally.  The overhead involved with these
+ * allocations makes GMQCC slow. To combat this, a special allocator was
+ * in need.  This is an implementation of a user-space buddy allocator
+ * that sits ontop of malloc/free.  I'd like to thank Lee Salzman for
+ * guiding me in the right direction for designing this.
