	I have a bunch of utilities of my own, and there just a few EU 
libraries mostly made of such functions. I'm willing to help 
build/manage/maintain this project, including in an OE-oreinted version.
	However, if I'm the only one to work on this, I'd like to release idEu 
first, and this means waiting till 04/2004, if I reckon correctly.
	Note that the building blocks for such a library would nainly come from 
global routines in several files. So, RC offer to index global symbols 
in submitted files would largely help.
	Have a nice day!
