OK, but I really hope you don't add the patch I said. It really is very
crude. But I will improve it.

Yes.

That would work. My code is effectively a branch. I run cvs update every
few days.
Is there an expected date for 1.0? I think the project I am using
AbiWord in is due in mid-Q2 of 2002 or so. So I may be able to just wait
for 1.0 for making big changes.
I'm also very interested to see the XPCOM embedding code from OEone.
