Precisely.

That would be useful. I can diff the changes you made to shortcut 
what I'd have to do.

Well as it happens I have a week coming up at the end of January 
which is more or less totally empty. I plan to release v0.85 during 
that. I'd like to get templatised GUI editables into TnFOX at some 
point, preferably before Tn starts getting a lot of GUI components 
into it though all changes would remain source compatible (via 
typedefs and default template parameters) with FOX.

If the TnFOX build system isn't working for you, that's a bug and it 
needs fixing. I can't fix it if I don't know what the problem is, so 
please go into details.

Cheers,
Niall
