I'm after a bit of feedback on PalmOS to PPC porting.  We've written a PPC
version of one of our apps before, but last time we just re-wrote it using
.NetCF, which had the drawback of being painfully slow, and didn't have any
shared code.

This time I was thinking of using MFC, and trying to push as much code as
possible into device independant C++ classes, with other classes dedicated
to a DAL (mainly for IrDA, Database Abstraction, and other such things)
therefore being able to share a majority of code between Palm and PPC. I
guess the nastiest part of this porting project will probably be the UI
code, because I figure it will still have to be written twice.

I'm after opinions on whether MFC is the way to go, or should I be looking
at another 3rd party framework.  Are there any frameworks which lend
themselves to Palm-PPC cross platform work?

(Note that we already have a very large PalmOS codebase in C/C++, so
AppForge or other RAD-style cross platform development tools aren't really
an option.)
