Oh... you're the living demonstration that I was wrong and Andreas is
right: I was pushing him to make ewg-gtk only SE+Linux....

Really really nice!

Well.... what is the error? I've tried with ewg cvs and it work nicely,
as long as you give ewg a good global include. I shall send it to the
list this evening.

 It seems you want to wrap many on the library I'm wrapping too.. (well,
proposed to wrap 8)... can we join our efforts? 

We need to provide Eiffel the batteries.... (think about Python
"language with batteries included" i.e.: greate std lib 8)

I've noticed you are speaking exclusively about free software. 
Shall we open a project on sf.net or perhaps savannah.gnu.org? 

What license is feasible for eiffel wrappers/library? EFL2 is nice
because it is GPL compatible, but it makes me feel uneasy because it
permits proprietary forks. Perhaps LGPL?

Thanks in advance
