before 1.0: create bn tool, fix http bugs, be unicode safe, package for osx & windows
# getbnbook
# other todos
use the correct file extension depending on the image type (for google and amazon
the first page is a jpg, all the others are png)
use wide string functions when dealing with stuff returned over http; it's known utf8
http://triptico.com/docs/unicode.html#utf-8
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#c
this means c99, rather than plain ansi c. worth it.
alternative is to just use our own bit of utf-8 handling; we only need to know to skip x number of bytes to get one char at a time, to find next char etc. whether this would get more tricky, being unable to use strcmp etc, to make it not worthwhile, is not yet certain. try it and see if it fits. note st has nice homemade utf8 support.
OR
use custom string functions where needed (prob only strstr needed), which work on utf8 specifically, and just skip the appropriate # of chars if it's not an ascii char
BUT
see how things are done in plan9, as they're good there
bug in get() & post(): if the \r\n\r\n after http headers is cut off between recv buffers
what happens if we receive not a http header? does recv loop forever, in a memory killing manner?
package for osx
package for windows
have tcl as a starpack. have it always reference the executables in its directory, and we're golden.

try supporting 3xx in get, if it can be done in a few lines
by getting Location line, freeing buf, and returning a new
iteration.
add https support to get
write some little tests
would likely be rather tricky, but building for android
would be nice. how it would work would be modifying the
getgbook src slightly, redefining function calls to be
findable by the java, and then writing java stuffs to call
it. gui could either be done from the java directly, or from
xml; both are gross options. see:
