ok, I finally recalled why we did it like this.. for the python
annotation support, which never made it in ;-) however the allocation
in 'specialized' line and later call to annotation_line__init might
actualy be a better way

no need to zfree if you're freeing the memory on the next line
also could you please put it to annotation_line__exit, since
you already added the __init function

the rest of the patches look good to me
