I had a poke at it, dealt with a couple of compile issues, then
encountered Blocks and went WTF did Apple invent here? I don't even
understand the description of their proprietary extension to C/C++/ObjC.
I had never seen code with ^ prefixed to things in this way and since I
don't understand what Blocks are supposed to accomplish I have no idea
how to remove them from the code.
