+ * Sorted array which grows automatically when you add elements.
+ * A binary search is used to find the position of a new element.
+ * 
+ * Example:
+ *   Let's create de comparison method for integers:
+ *
+ *     int int_comparator(void *a, void *b) {
+ *       if ((int)a < (int)b) {
+ *         return -1;
+ *       } else if ((int)a == (int)b) {
+ *         return 0;
+ *       } else {
+ *        return 1;
+ *       }
+ *     }
+ *
+ *   Create a sorted array for integers:
+ *     xine_sarray_t *sarray = xine_sarray_new(10, int_comparator);
+ *
+ *   Add elements:
+ *     xine_sarray_add(sarray, (void*)4);
+ *     xine_sarray_add(sarray, (void*)28);
+ *     xine_sarray_add(sarray, (void*)7);
+ *
+ *   Find an element:
+ *     int pos = xine_sarray_binary_search(sarray, (void*)7);
+ *     if (pos >= 0)
+ *       FOUND
+ *     else
+ *       NOT FOUND
+ *
+ *   Delete the array:
+ *     xine_sarray_delete(sarray);
