That's none of my business; only owners, developers and, or 
administrators of the QuickFIX project have that prerogative to accept 
and, or merge such changes.

But the users need not worry, because I'm making the all that work 
publically available for everyone to download, test, evaluate and, or 
use as per terms and, or license of the original project.

Since, I'm a newbie  to FIX and QuickFIX as such, so I shall not be 
making any major changes in the existing code until I get a complete 
grasp of the whole thing along with nod for go from the original developers.

After checking out the sources from upstream SVN repository a few days 
ago, I attempted try build the same on both the Debian/testing (GCC 4.3) 
and FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT (GCC 4.2) machines and needed to add a few 
missing headers to make it work. No doubt, the Autoconf, Automake and 
Libtool are packages for making your software more portable and to 
simplify building it -- usually on someone else's system, but seems the 
current QuickFIX team is somewhat more inclined towards most popular 
(though not suitable for such services, where system clock drift, 
automatic updates and, or restarts suck a lot) operating system or may 
be they don't have enough of the developers, testers and, or users from 
real world and, or much more mature environments. I'm writing this, 
because I found that the current QuickFIX configure/automake files 
needed a heavy overhaul, and that's what I was trying to accomplish.

A new machine is on its way this week, so I shall try making it (the 
QuickFIX) build under the Windows MinG32/MSYS and mono environments as well.

Thanks,
Regards,
