Description
This is a patch to improve the startup time of mc-4.7.0-pre4. Please incorporate it into the mainline sources.
Statistics:
- startup time without the patch: 0m0.413s
- startup time with the patch: 0m0.073s
Further improvements can be achieved by optimizing the usage of the glib function involved in UTF8 string comparisons.

Yes. Thank you very much!
But patch would be cleaned up for type accuracy:
- use gboolean instead of int for boolean variables;
- use size_t instead of int for array sizes.
I'll make it myself and create a branch ASAP.

OK. I wasn't sure whether you are working on some other solution to this problem.
Thanks for the final code cleanup. Though, if I was a purist I would point out that MC's source code is using an "int" for doing iterations such as "for(i=..." ...
