libraries])

{{{
  While we're at it, maybe we should look into unifying all of the
different "segment" libraries.

They all do essentially the same thing: provide a 2-dimensional array
which may be too large to fit into RAM (or, more accurately, into the
process' address space; if RAM was the issue, mmap() etc would suffice),
and which can be accessed (more or less) randomly.

Apart from the "official" segment library (lib/segment), r.proj has its
own, r.stream.* each have their own, r.grow.distance has something simpler
(the temporary file is read row-by-row but in reverse).
