Place URL in Net/.  SQL stuff isn't ported yet and needs major rework.
However .. i think the String class must be done before starting with the URL 
class. What about support for internationalization in the URL class (don't 
remember the correct name)?

We first need a Plugin library. Since Plugin loading is not a core component, 
and isn't a System abstraction class either it should go into it's own P 
library. Stephan .. how about your excellent class_loder stuff ? 
Shall i integrate it into P and drop the old Plugin stuff ? your code is much 
more elegant and cleaner.

Should go into P::IO library.

Hmm .. should this go into Util/ or shall we add a "application support" 
library ?
For example SimpleApp should go into "application support" lib, i think argv 
handling as well. 
If argv handling is "generic" and doesn't rely on input from "main(int, 
char*[])" it should go into Util/.

Seems that this Christmas becomes a funny hacking session ...
