I think you hit the nail right on the head. I'm at the point in my current
Linux-MIPS project where I need something just like this. I think that you
will be providing a *major* service to many people by doing this. I highly
encourage you to proceed with your plan.
How can I help? I'm not a Xlib programmer at all, but maybe getting your
work running in my Linux-MIPS project will be a good test. What else can I
do?
Regards,
Brad
