Only 4 things: Date class, XML parser, Database access and a canvas-like 
widget.

For the date I can use GDate or the old foe time_t, but if someone has a nice 
C++ implementation of a general date class with +, - and ==, < etc. 
operators, that would be nice.

I need a light weight XML parser that implements SAX2.

The other requeriment is classes to access databases. I think libgda will do.

Where I will really need help will be in the output to a canvas-like widget. I 
have the code to do it on a QPainter. If someone could port it to GTK or 
assist me, it would save me a lot of time.

For the rest of the classes, like iterators, containers, files, strings, etc, 
I will use the C++ STL.

I am using bision and flex to build a formula evaluator. I would need support 
with this too.

Thanks!
