This should be part of a big refactor of eet code.

I already tracked all source of slow down inside eet_data due to str*,
i left the one that doesn't impact performance. But I am definitively
thinking about keeping the string size around, this should be also
part of a refactor.

This should be also part of refactoring the code.

I was thinking about adding a way for some generic pretty printer, so
it would be easy to write another kind of output. Like a json output,
or maybe directly the javascript internal object for me. This kind of
improvement would also help writing support in other scripting langage
when you want to do eet->script objects.
So if people agree, I am thinking we can plan to :
- Add unit test and covering to eet with cutest
- Refactorise/clean code of eet_data
- Add array support to eet_data
- Add "generic" pretty printer for script binding (use it later to
provide undump) to eet_data
- Add optional support for symetric crypto support per section in
eet_lib (could be usefull for private config)
This could be the todo for version 2.0. I will not start working on
this until 1 or 2 months, so if others want to help. But first make a
1.0.1 with all small fix before we start breaking thing and add new
features.
