People taking code from one part of libggi and pasting it into
another part in such a way that it's obvious that they doesn't
know what the code does or how it's supposed to be used.

I don't think it's neccesary to tell what code caused my slight
overrecation, I just want everyone to be more carful when they
add/change code in libggi. If you're hacking on a target or something,
please sometimes take the time to read through all code from library
entrypoint to exitpoint, and really look what the code actually does.
