Thanks for the patch, it's now on the dwarflint branch.

Some of that cruft was there because of the merge with writer that I
don't remember anymore why I had done. I cleaned everything up and
merged the dwarf branch in. The dwarflint branch now only touches
dwarflint plus there is one related update to dwarfstrings.c/h.
