I think this is where we disagree. I prefer to find a single low-level represntation scheme that could be implemented on top of an unknown number of platforms. The representation could be even expressed in terms of a C API, it doesn't matter. The modern C++ layer will use the single representation, and not worry about a specific platform at all. The C++ layer will reside in .h files completely. If we do something like this, then our library will support Rainer Deyke's requirements (see his post in this thread).
