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.
