 Replying to [ticket:2296 hellik]:

 > to avoid code duplication, some functions should be unified over these
 modules in a lib(?)

 While we're at it, maybe we should look into unifying all of the different
 "segment" libraries.

 They all do essentially the same thing: provide a 2-dimensional array
 which may be too large to fit into RAM (or, more accurately, into the
 process' address space; if RAM was the issue, mmap() etc would suffice),
 and which can be accessed (more or less) randomly.

 Apart from the "official" segment library (lib/segment), r.proj has its
 own, r.stream.* each have their own, r.grow.distance has something simpler
 (the temporary file is read row-by-row but in reverse).
