I encourage you to volunteer to "port" the Java version (of whatever we end up with) over to C++. Nothing happens, unless people volunteer to make things happen!
I suspect we'll be able to look at the Sun code shortly, and compare it against the ExOffice code. We're working on the license now, so that we can look at the Sun code. The ExOffice code is already viewable. I think the IBM code is out of the running, at this point (too far behind the other two options).
