Yeah, it makes sense to add these comments.

Heh, the one which needs FILE *? No, thanks :-)

Sure, that actually even results in a bit nicer code.

And all this after we went through fork() and going to call exec() soon, I
don't think such optimization would make any difference. If this code had been
run on any libvirt API, it would have make sense to optimize the loop, but now
I don't think it's worth it. It looks like a premature optimization to me :-)
