More info on this:
bbtools code (bbpager, bbmail, etc) is derived from blackbox code. However,
there had to be some changes as the objects were very tightly bound to each
other. Even the bbtool code has some of this. The Resource class has to
be re-written for every blackbox app and the base class assumes too much.
So yes, both blackbox and bbtools have to be modified and cleaned up for this.
There has been discussion with morel (Jeff Raven) and kns (author of bbtools)
about this. Hopefully in the near future something will appear to help out.`
