 *
 *  This module uses a splay tree to implement a simple cache.  The cache
 *  module adds a thin layer of functionality to the splay tree.  In
 *  particular:
 *
 *    - The tree (cache) may be limited in size by the number of
 *      entries permitted or the amount of memory used.  When either
 *      limit is exceeded cache entries are removed until the cache
 *      conforms.
 *    - Some statistical information is kept so that an approximate
 *      "hit ratio" can be calculated.
 *    - There are several functions available that provide access to
 *      and management of cache size limits, hit ratio, and tree
 *      trimming.
 *
 *  The splay tree is used because recently accessed items tend toward the
 *  top of the tree and less recently accessed items tend toward the bottom.
 *  This makes it easy to purge less recently used items should the cache
 *  exceed its limits.
 *
 *  To use this module, you will need to supply a comparison function of
 *  type ubi_trCompFunc and a node-freeing function of type
 *  ubi_trKillNodeRtn.  See ubi_BinTree.h for more information on
 *  these.  (This is all basic ubiqx tree management stuff.)
 *
 *  Notes:
 *
 *  - Cache performance will start to suffer dramatically if the
 *    cache becomes large enough to force the OS to start swapping
 *    memory to disk.  This is because the nodes of the underlying tree
 *    will be scattered across memory in an order that is completely
 *    unrelated to their traversal order.  As more and more of the
 *    cache is placed into swap space, more and more swaps will be
 *    required for a simple traversal (...and then there's the splay
 *    operation).
 *
 *    In one simple test under Linux, the load and dump of a cache of
 *    400,000 entries took only 1min, 40sec of real time.  The same
 *    test with 450,000 records took 2 *hours* and eight minutes.
 *
 *  - In an effort to save memory, I considered using an unsigned
 *    short to save the per-entry entry size.  I would have tucked this
 *    value into some unused space in the tree node structure.  On
 *    32-bit word aligned systems this would have saved an additional
 *    four bytes per entry.  I may revisit this issue, but for now I've
 *    decided against it.
 *
 *    Using an unsigned short would limit the size of an entry to 64K
 *    bytes.  That's probably more than enough for most applications.
 *    The key word in that last sentence, however, is "probably".  I
 *    really dislike imposing such limits on things.
 *
 *  - Each entry keeps track of the amount of memory it used and the
 *    cache header keeps the total.  This information is provided via
 *    the EntrySize parameter in ubi_cachePut(), so it is up to you to
 *    make sure that the numbers are accurate.  (The numbers don't even
 *    have to represent bytes used.)
 *
 *    As you consider this, note that the strdup() function--as an
 *    example--will call malloc().  The latter generally allocates a
 *    multiple of the system word size, which may be more than the
 *    number of bytes needed to store the string.

   *                        header).  If this is exceeded, existing entries

   *          will be purged from the cache (assuming a reasonably large
   *          cache), since new nodes in a splay tree (which is what this

   *          and the cache purge process removes nodes from the bottom of
