In response to some questions on libc-help here is a
first attempt at documenting some of the conventions
behind calling the double-underscore versions of the
public API functions from within the library (to avoid
the PLT indirect and maintain internal consistency).

I would appreciate any review.
Cheers,
Carlos.
