Yes I did, it's the C++ callback framework I was talking about. It looks very 
nice, but it's not C style at all, We want to keep the external interface C 
so it can be used by C programs, as well as bindings generators (like SWIG) 
so libofx can eventually be used by scripting language like perl, python, 
etc.

Maybe we can implement our C callback on top of libsigc++, but I'm not sure it 
would save us any time over implementing from scratch.  I also feel I may 
become very unclear what happens to a new developper if we have two 
indirection layers for callback functions.

Off course I may be wrong on both count.
