*
* Simple library to manage reusing buffers of similar sizes using
* malloc/free type style calls.
*
* void* dbmfInit(MAX_BUFFER_SIZE,REQUIRED_BUFFER_ALIGNMENT,INITIAL_POOL_SIZE);
*
* void* dbmfMalloc(handle,byte_count);
* void* dbmfFree(handle,buffer_pointer);
*
* dbmfInit() returns a handle to a buffer pool.
* Use dbmfMalloc() and dbmfFree() to get buffers from it. The buffer pool
* will give you managed buffers for sizes of MAX_BUFFER_SIZE and less.
* Sizes requested which are larger than MAX_BUFFER_SIZE will just be
* allocated using normal malloc() call. A buffer gotten with dbmfMalloc()
* will be aligned to REQUIRED_BUFFER_ALIGNMENT. The buffer pool will
* grow by INITIAL_POOL_SIZE each time it runs out of buffers.
