Like I said most work is already in the libraries themselves, it is now 
a matter of glueing the parts together. I havent looked at the original 
source code lately, but once i had a look and to my knowledge it was 
cryptic c code. If used correctly, c++ can much easier to read just 
because of the automatic management. At least it makes porting them to 
other (non unix, non cygwin) platforms more easily.
