	Oh - I see; yes glib is quite a large API to port perhaps.

	Sure - it would be nice to have a multi-threaded ORB in some ways; but
the issue is that on the desktop most programmers cannot cope with the
locking issues - in fact, few of them can cope with the concept of
re-enterancy and spend their lives complaining about this :-) [ and
asking for threading which only adds complexity ].

	Hey ho.
