I understand.  My 'good enough for Photoshop...' was meant more in
general, as in for any apps someone might want to build from your
library.

If you need/want help with eve, let me know.  If nothing else, it

requirements that other layout engines might not have considered (like
having widgets expose measurements such as text baselines, etc).
