Re: Library status

I think GitHub gives us the possibility of doing a "casual" fork while we
don't hear from any earlier developers. As I've mentioned, I'm working on
it, and anyone could announce their repo as a new integration repo for
improvements.  It seems user-driven at this point, but there's a diversity
of itches and folks working on scratching them so I'm confident there will
still be progress.  For instance, I now have all the headers compiling
cleanly, and nearly all of them and the tests compiling without any warnings
on Clang 2.9 with -Wall -Wextra turned on.
