I was just looking through some of our elf/dwarf parsing code and we  
use seek_cur quite a bit.  Not that it couldn't be rewritten to use  
absolute seek, but it's also not the most natural interface.  I'd opt  
for keeping those interfaces for binary files since there are use- 
cases where they are useful.
