s/A significant/The evil/, as I wrote:

> Note that it doesn't completly consolidate code using "struct bfd_in_memory" as some of it is pretty evil (grep for remaining references to BFD_IN_MEMORY).  I'll do another pass at eliminating more of the BFD_IN_MEMORY references in a follow-up patch. 

I tried to leave that code be.  Not sure how successful I was.
