I'd like to show people in several other projects (eg. moz) why it's good to split large applications into several subsystems speaking to each other via synthetic filesystems (eg. instead of individual IPC mechanisms). thx -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
