I agree completely with you, in fact I don't see any problem replacing qt
dependence with apr dependence (except the manpower that I don't have at the
moment)

The code resembles Avalon Framework (just framework), e.g., it's a set of
interfaces and several Default* implementations.

The code is already avaliable in the public cvs, you can check it and see how
complicated it is.

I've updated, renamed and relicensed the code and put it to the cvs, you can
check it out using 

cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/publiccvs login
(press enter when prompted for password)

cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/publiccvs co swaloun-framework

(note that ATM you probably wont be able to compile it,
since two small dependent libraries are not yet in the cvs, but they'll be
there hopefully during this night)

as you can see I've renamed the project from ccavalon to swaloun-framework and
placed it under GPL (due to QT dependency, QT is itself GPL) to not conflict
with original avalon license.

I hope I've not violated any rights...

sincerly,
martin
