Hi Daniel!

Are you developing for windows or linux?
If you are a windows developer, try implementing OpenTNL or RakNet.=20
But since both aren't LGPL they are not that strong candidates.=20

Since its Open Source you are free to implement whatever you think is
right.=20

And putting windows out of the loop for now does keep the community a
bit more together. Personally I don't want to deal with Windows guys.=20

I'm not saying that there won't be a Windows port. If I didn't
anticipated that happening I wouldn't have put such an effort in writing
Windows compatible code and put my vote up for portable libraries such
as TinyXML.=20

For now I'm satisfied with the current libraries as they are. Especially
the LGPL/libPNG/MIT licensed libraries.=20
I make my selection based on the following:

#1: Is the library licensed LGPL, MIT or LibPNG?
#2: Is it being maintained?
#3: How well is it documented?
#4: Is it cross-platform?

You see, cross-platform is way down the list.=20

If you are set on a windows-build, get cross-compiling to work using
MingW32 using KDeveloper. Then you have my full support on maintaining
code in both branches.=20

Cheers!
Tim
