Chocolate chip cookies, eh?

What brand? :)

Seriously, I don't think I could seriously take this challenge, as
libdisk is too messy to start from and I do not have enough knowledge of
these internals. I guess I could try to re-implement functions such as
Int_Open_Disk() in a separate (the low-level) library. It shouldn't be
too difficult, assuming the current *implementation* is correct (it's
the API that screwed in libdisk case, right?).

I'll look at the libwhisk John mentionned, though.
