I don't know, I have mixed feelings about this because this library has
apparently not evolved at all since several years. The GNOME project uses
it, though.

We still have a problem with the BSD licence that effectively prevents
us from linking to GPL'd libraries. Should we try to adress the University
of Berkeley directly and ask (kindly) for a change of licence?


I'm currently working on the nexr release of the rework , it should be 
available during the week (not on CVS though because I did quite a lot of 
changes )
