Incidentally, did you know that if Z and Z' are defined so that
         a      d      a'
0 --> Z ---> C ---> C ---> Z' ---> 0
is exact, then the homology is the image (= coimage) of a'.a: Z --> Z'?
This is a triviality, but it gives a symmetric definition of homology.
Notice that it defines something even when d.d is not 0.  I guess it is Z
mod Z meet ker(d).
