..........I would like to also evaluate it for mozilla/xpcom.
The code is now available from the page
http://protozilla.mozdev.org/download.html
which contains a link to the source tarball.
The part of the code that could be considered for inclusion
in mozilla is in the directory pipella/base in the source tarball.
The rest of the code is probably too application specific.
Comments/questions welcome
