Great, can't wait. Also, how about ... More X libraries (native X support) Better documentation. Not that i've used ming, but how about including that too, so we have all of these packages in 1 big bundle? And also a bigger cygnus tools package? Out of curisoity too, (yes im always curious) do you guys work on it full time? And how many hands are there?
