I tried with one of my packages and got nowhere. Unfortunately,
I don't even code for XForms, I just packaged stuff I used, so
I'm not the best suited to do the port. This port excercise was
done for pcmcia-cs, and I promised myself to take the time to see
what was involved (looks non-trivial).
The job might be trivial for someone who eally knows what they
are doing, and I for one would love to see the end result.
Perhaps I should post such a request for help on -devel, but that
is beside the point anyway. We need a good add-on clause for the
GPL.
Thanks,
Peter
