I've put up patch #2 implementing ELF(3) at:

  http://people.freebsd.org/~jkoshy/download/libelf-patch-2.gz
  63KB, MD5: 06a3b844d098046f29c3889771b6f52c

This patch implements the complete set of ELF(3) an GELF(3)
APIs; a total of 82 functions and associated manual pages.

This library helps in writing programs that need to
parse or create ELF files.

New features since patch #1:
 - ar(1) archive handling.
 - support for ELF objects using extended section indexing.
 - a few gelf_*() functions that were missed out from patch #1.
 - bug fixes.

Wiki page: http://wiki.freebsd.org/LibElf

I'd like to add libelf to -current soon, so reviews, comments,
etc. would be welcome.
