no need to be sorry.

i didn't think of that, but i wouldn't think one would
want to do that. the effort, say, to glue ndb structures
into go's world would seem on par with rewriting the library.
and it would be a great oppertunity to clean up some crunch.
one big challenge in gluing in c libraries is that you
couldn't easily pass any sort of pointer back in from c.
it would break the gc.
