Annotation of /libgig/trunk/TODO

In General:
  - introduce 'iterator' design pattern as a replacement for the simple but
    error-prone GetFirstFoo() / GetNextFoo() methods

RIFF Part:
  - replace Chunk::SetPos(), Chunk::GetPos(), Chunk::Read() and
    Chunk::Write() methods and all other position dependant methods by a
    'Reader' / 'Writer' design pattern, that is each Chunk object would
    only provide a new instance to a 'Reader' / 'Writer' object which allows
    to read and write to the chunk independant how many parties are
    currently using the respective Chunk object for reading/writing

DLS Part:
  - support for conditional chunks
  - check for ZSTR terminated strings in DLS::Info::LoadString()
  - real support for 64 bit offsets (used by Gigasampler v3 files)
  - adding methods Articulator::AddArticulation() and
    Articulator::DeleteArticulation(Articulation* pArticulation) to allow
    creating and deleting DLS::Articulation objects
  - modify DLS::Articulation class to allow adding and deleting
    DLS::Connection objects

Gig Part:
  - Write support? Please let me know if you are interested to write an
    instrument editor based on libgig. I'm not going to add write support
    to libgig until somebody tells me his intention to seriously write such
    a tool!
  - support for <3dnl> chunk in gig::Region class which provides optional
    textual descriptions for dimensions
  - support for <3gnm> chunk in gig::File class which contains names of
    sample groups
  - additional scan for compressed samples in
    gig::Sample::ScanCompressedSample() to build a table with the compression
    mode of each compressed frame in the sample allowing a more efficient
    Read() on runtime
  - low level optimization in decompression algorithm
  - optional writing of frame table to disk to speed up loading of compressed
    samples
  - real support for 24 bit samples (introduced by Gigasampler v3 format)
  - support for additional articulation informations introduced by the
    Gigasampler v3 format
