Re use of rust's regular Iterator type

Since you are programming with rust+ffi there are some games you may be able to play with ref counting in C to adjust the lifetime of headers returned from an Iterator.

What I am suggesting (but I know nothing serious about rust) is running an array of header references during an iteration using *Link() that have *Free() called when the rust Iterator goes out of scope.

No idea whether that is possible, and be forewarned: a full serial iteration over Packages will load 100+ Mytes.
