+//     Function: init_libpandaegg
+//  Description: Initializes the library.  This must be called at
+//               least once before any of the functions or classes in
+//               this library can be used.  Normally it will be
+//               called by the static initializers and need not be
+//               called explicitly, but special cases exist.
