	Well perhaps;

	Well; as I understand it - the Java people want an API that can be used
programatically - that is more powerful, sane, sensible, and
system-integrated than popen ("/usr/sbin/sendmail"). It would seem that
aiming to provide an API like that would be something worth doing.

	Surely Camel doesn't have a GUI dependency ? and these days g_type_init
is good enough for all GObjects etc. ?

	HTH,

		Michael.
