I belive the best would be to to keep the OnBoardHeader.h with only small c=
hanges (together with necceraely updates) to the header family a bunch of a=
dditional headers: (e.g. SlotDrvrLib.h, VFSMgr.h, TelephonyMgr.h...) thus m=
aking it possible to add those API:s needed to your specific project. (also=
 making it an option to #include these additional headers if your device su=
ports them or not)

I belive it's 64kb (for the moment)

We should aim for a complete set of API:s!

There are probably many users that have done these....
There is however  one, Peter Mo=F1ko, the man creating TbmpEdit and Woosh j=
ust to mention a few. We should ask him for his headers.

I also belive we should leave the OS4.0 and try to make the headers work wi=
th OS5!
(e.g. OnBoardheader50.h)

this matter so please help us!
