Re: Sh

Litestep is the only reason I still use windows. I have thought about
porting it, now with the implementation of netloadmodule, it might be
capable of being actually cross platform. Someone just needs to take
the time to do the following:
make the modules compile to libraries in linux(in itself that is a big
chore, mabye write a wrapper for the modules)
then write some program that would take the modules source and compile
them on the linux machines (this program would replace netloadmodule)
make the file parser more modularized, so that it can be moved over to
other shells(I am working on a parser that could fit this bill)

Once those 3 things are done, many themes written for windows could
actually already work in linux (so long as they are OTS 2 and the
modules they use also release the source, as many of them do).
