To be a bit more consistent, I'd suggest MINC_MAX_FILE_MEMORY (why
would one be called 'memory' and the other 'buffer'?)

But either way, I think the most important is that these actually be
documented at the user level. I for one was only aware of the first
two original ones, and have no idea what the other 3 do :-)
