Yeah I know I have been porting Glib/gtk/pango/atk for a while
now. Oh any by the way, HUGE kudos on very VERY useful and
well written stuff. The libcharset stuff is something I always
glossed over, to my detriment. I need to submit patches for
it to play nicely on OpenServer and UnixWare.

Not sure of you like to know this sort of thing but both
glib/gtk 1.2.10 and 2.2.1 now ship standard with OpenServer
5.0.7, released yesterday. If you are interested I'd be more
than happy to send you a copy or two.

Next up on my desired list of things in the "mind-boglingly
useful open source" category to add is Xfree86 itself. Our
current X server is still release 5. *UGGGG*. But hopefully
the fact that Xfree now compiles "out of the box" it will
be easier for folks to use it until I can get it packaged
for those customers of ours that cant even spell 'cc' let
alone use it :)
