+/************************Linked List***********************
+ * This is a simple linked list implementation, very similar
+ * to Linux kernel's /include/linux/list.h (which we can't 
+ * use because Tox is GPLv3 and Linux is GPLv2.)
+ *
+ * TODO: Make the lists easier to use with some sweat pre-
+ * processor syntactic sugar.

+
+/* Example usage
+
+This sample program makes a new struct which contains a
+character and a tox_list_t. It then prompts a user for
+input until he enters q or e. It then adds each character
+to the list, and uses a special for loop to print them.
+It then removes all the 'z' characters, and prints the list
+again.
+
+//Notice that the data to be put in the list *contains* tox_list_t;
+//usually, this is the other way around!
+typedef struct tox_string {
+   char c;
+   tox_list_t tox_lst; //Notice that tox_lst is *NOT* a pointer.
+} tox_string_t;
+
+int main()
+{
+   tox_list_t head;
+   tox_list_new(&head); //initialize head
+   
+   //input a new character, until user enters q or e
+   char c = '\0';
+   while (c != 'q' && c != 'e') {
+      scanf("%c", &c);
+      tox_string_t* tmp = malloc(sizeof(tox_string_t));
+      tmp->c = c;
+      tox_list_add(&head, &tmp->tox_lst); //add it to the list
+   }
+   
+TOX_LIST_FOR_EACH() takes a struct tox_list and a name for a temporary pointer to use in the loop.
+   
+TOX_LIST_GET_VALUE() uses magic to return an instance of a structure that contains tox_list_t.
+You have to give it a temporary tox_string_t, name of tox_list_t member inside our structure (tox_lst),
+and the type of structure to return.
+   
+   TOX_LIST_FOR_EACH(head, tmp)
+      printf("%c", TOX_LIST_GET_VALUE(*tmp, tox_lst, tox_string_t).c);
+   
+   TOX_LIST_FOR_EACH(head, tmp) {
+      if (TOX_LIST_GET_VALUE(*tmp, tox_lst, tox_string_t).c == 'z') {
+         //If you delete tmp, you have to quit the loop, or it will go on infinitly.
+         //This will be fixed later on.
+         tox_list_remove(tmp);
