Great!

How should we proceed? My current preference is to let your C++ interface live besides libsmi as a separate package, because I'm not familiar with it (and even not familiar with C++ ;-). When some time went by and people would like to see both packages integrated, we might decide to do so.

What do you think? May I put your tarball to our FTP archive?

I'm fine with these changes. I've applied them to the libsmi CVS module. -- !! This message is brought to you via the `libsmi' mailing list. !! Please do not reply to this message to unsubscribe.
