One important thing to be sure of, before we start with the different libraries... what c-library should we use?
At the moment... clib2 is the c-library with the most functions, but as it is a static library and OpenOffice.org is huge, would this not be a good idea...
newlib does have less functions at the moment, but it is shared, and is more optimized... so it would need more work, but will give us a more Amiga-like and a faster application.
If we would chose newlib, should we if it was up to me make the missing functions under the BSD license, and offer the OS4 team the code for inclussion in newlib (up to them ofcourse).
So if I understand correctly clib2 = easier but larger and slower newlib = faster more compact but possibly take a bit longer?
if so, I vote newlib, but then I wont be doing the extra coding, more importantly can you tell me what effect the decision will have in the short term, ie if we wre to choose clib2 now would it be very difficult to change over later.
