How Patrick> does that sound? For new code that does seem right, but how does that work for existing code? Will the lib need to bump it's version number? It would be cool if it would work with existing pango apps. And w/o having to recompile the whole system.... -JimC -- James H. Cloos, Jr. <cloos@xxxxxxxxxxx>
