My main motivation here was libflashrom which is almost ready. The CLI
is already factored out, so someone may convert flashrom into a shared
lib, and I thought a lib shouldn't have too many static allocations. I
won't fight over this, there are more important problems to solve than
dynamic vs static allocation.
