you are welcome!
maybe portable doesn't mean external-dependance-free but at least a
library must not depend on other entities rather than standard
facilities or OS
i prefer bundles like e.g. qt: once you got it you build it and use
and nothing else matters
i don't like when lib needs something else to use it
rather a particular lib can deliver a feature of extesibility or
integration with 3rd-party software
e.g. doxygen which is able to draw it's own ugly class diagrams but
allows you to use external graphviz tool seamlessly to generate state
of the art pics

i swear it looks familiar to me but i don't actually remeber
i'll use all that references as a reference (oops! pun again) while
polishing my own lib
