I've just submitted CDMirror project to Sourceforge.net, so i'm just
waiting for theyre review, as soon as i get a reply i'll anounce it so
we can start some work.
One of my main interests/objectives in this project is to provide an
easy library for readung and recording data to CDs yet this process is
still in a very early stage so one thing we could do is to create the
ability to chose from the native drivers or to use cdrdao/cdrecord to
perform the reading and writing operations.
I've been playing around with gij and gcj to try to run cdmirror. All
the classes in the main lib were compiled with gcj correctly but gij
didn't succeded running the entire app.
I need to check how kaffe handles with it too.
