I am planning on building a layer above the basic ezFCPlib primitives (open 
key, write key, close key) to do multi threaded scheduling among other 
things.  Since it will be part of ezFCPlib, and compile on Windows and *nix 
(theoretically), it would serve as a useful addition to the C/C++ 
community.  I am using the FEC-FCP extenstions for writing keys, but I plan 
on using the C code under Contrib/fecimpl/onion/alien/fec-1.0.3.zip for 
fcpget and related ezFCPlib logic.

I (personally) think FCP does what it does well, and currently don't see any 
real need to add any major functionality.  I agree with Gianni; "Adding an 
extra layer that allows client authors to make essentially unbounded 
demands on fred will not improve matters."
