Hmm, have to agree to disagree on glib for the moment :-(

Yep lets do it !! There is only 24 hours in a day, and I am running
at 110 % already <:)
Lets make a cvs tagged relase (1.1.0) and pop it in the "Latest File
Releases"
area first.

Some things for the announcement to *.ham.* etc are:

1. Nice project summary/aims.
2. Outline design architecture
3. sample code snippet ( a few lines)
4. refs to hamlib links, and discussion groups.
5. Current project status (early :-))
6. Platform operability.
7. DEVELOPERS WANTED, LOTS OF WORK (LIBS) TODO

etc..
