Turns out that g++ won't let me use an unsigned char * as an argument
to ifstream::read, so I converted all the data structures to use char
* instead.  I've just committed the fix to CVS - David beat me to it
with a one-liner by 23 seconds :(  If I wasn't watching anime on
Cartoon Network I'd have gotten it done faster :)

Hey, wait a minute - isn't it like 3:50 AM your time, David?  Get some
sleep, man! :)
