(jcwren) Re: h2xs problems (aka: h2xs ate my memory)

I just ran this on my machine, after installing the latest versions of C::Scan and Data::Flow, and here's what I got:

root@linux arf# time h2xs -x /usr/include/bfd.h
Scanning typemaps...
 Scanning /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/ExtUtils/typemap
Scanning /usr/include/bfd.h for functions...
Writing Bfd/Bfd.pm
Writing Bfd/Bfd.xs
Writing Bfd/typemap
Writing Bfd/Makefile.PL
Writing Bfd/test.pl
Writing Bfd/Changes
Writing Bfd/MANIFEST

real    0m0.426s
user    0m0.360s
sys     0m0.060s
root@linux arf#

No time at all. 'h2sx' is version 1.19. This all running on a mixed version RedHat system, 1Ghz Athlon, 512MB.
