You may want to change the name as the first part of porting 8-).

But seriously, I need to sit down and take a closer look at what you 
already have so I can understand it better.  I've really only had a 
chance to glance over it.  Then I should be able to take more time to 
get into the discussion.  But, what we are talking about is something 
I've wanted for a very long time, so I'd be very interested in 
pitching in where I can in whatever project comes out of this.  I 
have a great deal of interest in seeing this developed out for 
WTL/Win32 and Cocoa (through Obj-C++) as well as GNUStep as a logical 
extension of the last one.
