I can't say much about setjmp/longjmp myself, i usually even avoid
them in regular C programs. ;-)

One thing i also noticed when working over <stdlib.h> is that i think
prepending two underscores to every formal parameter used in a
declaration doesn't make any sense to me.  The scope of these names is
just the declaration itself, so there's no risk of conflicting with
any application-supplied names.  However, now that we use doxygen to
document the header files, these names find their way into the user
documentation.
