Pavel,

Sorry for being late responding to this, but I'd say this is a prime
example for typedef's considered evil (see Greg's OLS talk ;).

It would be a lot cleaner if it was made a struct and then passing a
struct pointer as the argument instead of passing the struct by value
as you do right now.
