Ok, I'm now trespassing in an area where Linus is the expert and I am but a
novice.

Verifying that the Xing header data of a particular is in fact correct would
need the entire file scanned.

If I'm not mistaking, the Xing basicly offers 100 indexes into the file, to
allow quick-jumping to various positions in the file.

I'm not sure how we are (or rather Linus is) going to make the header.
