from uat.h

 * uat mantains a dynamically allocated table accessible to the user

 * the file is located either in userdir(when first read or when writen) or
 * in datadir for defaults (read only , it will be always written to userdir).
 *
 * the behaviour of the table is controlled by a series of callbacks
 * the caller must provide.

the design goal is to have a flexible enough interface to manage
tables of data needed by various dissectors/features.

* mantains a dynamically allocated table that is loaded from file
* records are user-definable (struct _xxx)
* allows arbitrary characters in strings ( even  \0's )
* it can dump the contents to a file
* records can be edited by the user either by editing the file or by a
gui window (upcoming).

Please, take a look at uat.h and tell me what should be changed.

Thanks,

Luis
