Thanks.

Yeah. Thats my problem. I've rechecked them with spellchecker, and found two
typos. If there are more, please point me to it.

I've renamed it. If it confuses you, it may confuse others. No reason to
confuse anybody.

My mistake. Fixed it.

From my point of view, it is not "Gist Buffering Option" itself. It is only a
part of C-code actually that creates "Gist Buffering Option". This enum
defines "Numeric values for Gist Buffering Enum Option". So the logic of the
name is following
(((Gist options)->Buffering)->Numeric Values)

May be "Numeric Values" is not the best name, but this type should be named
gist_option_buffering_[something]. If you have any better idea what this
"something" can be, I will follow your recommendations...

Hm... This would be good. We really can do it? ;-) I am not C-expert, some
aspects of C-development is still mysterious for me. So if it is really ok to
create array in .h file, I would be happy to move it there (This patch does
not include this change, I still want to be sure we can do it)

Do code for fun.
