That's right; and there's more to do, like queue-implementation for batch
submits for example. And, of course, portability - win32 users should
have the right to use this, too.


To continue the main discussion:

I still struggle with the fact that all my work is in C++.
I am fully convinced that the structured approach C++ is offering
is the right thing - but maybe we should provide a "port" in
straight C while main development is going on in C++?

Next thing: I do care a lot about portability, but we need
people who can test it and maybe send patches; esp. for win32.
Speaking of win32 - I guess we cannot use the autotools approach
for portability here, can we?

Can anyone setup CVS and maybe a mailing list for this project?
This might come in handy.

And a last note: I will not be able to participate in the discussion
from Friday 25. to Tuesday 29.
