Changes in version 1.003

- Optimized path matching to only stat intermediate entries if they
  don't contain any meta-characters, instead of reading the entire
  directory and matching.

  position should not cause an lseek syscall.
- The iobuf library now uses an anonymous mmap region for I/O instead of
  a malloced buffer, if possible.  Some OS's can optimize away a data
  copy using this kind of mechanism.
