[ros-dev] freeldr

Again, please cite your sources Alex...

I'm pretty sure you were the one who suggested this vtable system in the
first place, for at least some parts of the FreeLoader code anyways, because
I didn't write it. But it does have some usefulness in places such as the UI
code where, depending on the platform, it does take a different code path,
and multiple code paths are valid options to be compiled in and parsed at
runtime depending on the .ini file.

In any case, please stop adding useless comments like this unless you intend
to bring up the original points of objection along with it. A simple "I
agree with the proposed change" would have sufficed here, and I'm tired of
going the rounds with you over conversations that never took place.

I wrote this exact same request 3 years ago and Brian said no :)
