I think about it from time to time. It's hard to know where to start, though; and I have way too many unfinished projects already :) Also the gnulib one is a bit funny: Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib: [...] * Bit-fields of type `bool' are not supported. Portable code should use `unsigned int foo : 1;' rather than `bool foo : 1;'. I suppose we could add some kind of macro for bool bitfields or something along those lines. There are other issues mentioned too, though I consider them more minor. Pedro> Kind of moot/unnecessary if we do get to move to C++ though. The spelling at least would be the same, so it would not be wasted effort. On the whole, if someone wants to take it up, I'd be pleased. Tom
