I've gotten some very good feedback from a lot of users. If you keep in mind
that you can only please about 80% of the users, and work hard at making
life easy for them, you pretty much can't go wrong. The other 20% will just
hack the code to make it work.

I also agree with both of the statements; I'm too proud of the library to
let go completely, so I'll be adding in my two cents in when I can.

Yeah; this has been a headache in development. That's why Win32Lib has
remained fairly monolithic. Going to a multiple library model (at least,
without namespaces) is more pain than it's worth.

I'm buried right now working on adding a Euphoria module to SWIG, but I
figured that I better stick my head up when I saw all the cool things that
were being added to Win32Lib. I'll try to take a look at the additions in
the near future.
Thanks again for the hard work!
