Hello,

[Assumes none of this has been done, and somewhat
 from memory as I do not have AbiWord's source handy]

Later this week I would like to update the peer PNG
library to the latest release.  Anybody mind?

I would like to update my fix for bug 1750 which 
to do properly requires moving a function in
<platform>App.cpp that is mostly cut-n-paste across the
platforms into a parent subclass (which I believe
AP_App.cpp is perfect for) with probably a new virtual
method to handle the differences.  I'm probably not
to clear, but have a look at the bug to see my Win32
specific patch and you can see more or less what I
am talking about.  My reason for mentioning this is
there is a chance I will make a mistake and accidently
break all non Windows builds, so I want to be sure you
are aware of my intentions and it is ok to do so before
I begin.
[This may or may not also fix bug ?1444 ? 1440? or so
 that is marked a duplicate.]

The only other item I have planned is to refactor AbiPaint
into a more OO form (Base XP plugin class that I can
use for all my plugins that add menu items, AbiPaint
plugin that does XP neutral stuff (most of it), and
either platform specific classes to implement Fork+Exec
or a couple UT classes with an XP header and platform
specific implementation).  This shouldn't have an effect
on anyone, but while I am doing this, I would be interested
in ideas about starting on menu localization.

Thank you,
Jeremy Davis
