Added to TODO...

It sounds like a lot of bureaucracy, so I doubt I'll be doing it
soon.  But I'm accepting patches ;-)

I'm sorry, I've just spent to much time this week doing:

        vi disk_*.c
        [apply something that could almost be a regular expression
         100 times]

I envisage something like:

        add to PedDiskOps:

        int (*write_to_stream) (const PedDisk* disk, FILE* stream);
        PedDisk* (*read_from_stream) (FILE* stream);
