/**
 * A linked list container class.
 * 
 * Some rather horrible macros are used to declare actual concrete
 * list types.
 * 
 * Example:
 * 
 *   DeclareWvList(WvString);
 *
 *   int main()
 *   {
 *       WvStringList l;
 *       WvStringList::Iter i(l);
 *
 *       ... fill the list ...
 *
 *       i.rewind();
 *       while (i.next())
 *           printf("%s\\n", i.str);
 *   }
 * 
 * 
 * Deallocating list will free all of the WvLinks in the list, but
 * will only free the user objects that were added with autofree
 * set to true.
 * 
 * We need to malloc memory for each WvLink as well as the data it
 * stores; this is unnecessarily slow.  I would rather have made a
 * base "Link" class for object types that could be stored as links
 * in a list, and then used object->next instead of all the
 * List Iterator stuff, but the end result was pure ugliness, so I
 * gave up.  At least this way, the same object can be in multiple
 * lists.
 * 
 * List type construction is facilitated by the following macros:
 * 
 *  - DeclareWvList(Type): creates a subclass named TypeList
 *     that contains pointers to Type.
 *  - DeclareWvList2(name, Type): as the above, but calls the
 *     resulting class by the specified name. 
 * 
 * 
 * "T" is the object type
