That's part of why I do it the way I do: you are hopefully able 
to customize the code just using mine as a starting point for 
your own hack jobs. I kinda assume everyone who wants to use them 
takes a look through the source - that's why I leave comments! 
(and my lack of traditional documentation means eyeballing the 
source (or asking me) is really the only way to find the hidden 
features anyway)

But then even I would get annoyed with them and just write a 
simpler version anyway!

This is how I pick libraries:

try
      solveMyProblem(close_to_exactly);
catch(Exception e)
      writeln("this library sucks");
finally {
      do it myself with exactly what i need and little more
}


Yes, DIY is finally :P Unless the lib actually happens to solve 
what I want exactly and has no other hassle... which basically 
never happens... I end up doing it myself whether it sucks or is 
actually OK.

y'all should do it too, it is informative!
