I hope too... not sure though... we'll see!

Ok. I think I'll start this coding "challenge" around next monday
(unless 'guiqwt' is very easy to migrate). But I'm only doing this on
short periods of time between a family reunion and an outing with
friends... so basically I can't promise anything.

This is an interesting library, indeed, Carlos. I'm aware of it.
But, for now, I'm trying to write the strict necessary compatibility
helpers and I'll see where it takes me. If it's getting too complex or
if it's requiring too much code, I'll probably consider using this
library.
