branch 2.0: missing arches: If possible, we need more `make check' reports. Am working on two. Somebody needs to fix MinGW. I would like to see one arch which has no dynamic linking but still passes the relevant libltdl preopen tests. Anyone? > Post 2.0: > > 1.

Sure. > 3. Try and recruit some people to translate the docs? I could care less. Improve current docs first (they are not bad, but a little outdated in places). Second be determined to keep docs current (like: don't accept a patch for a new feature without accompanying docs). Third convince someone (else) to translate. > 4. Fix threads. Big ACK.

Versioned libraries. Although this is not very portable yet, it is a concept which IMHO needs support. Many people ask for it. 7. Change libltdl interface: add separate functions for function pointers. This will allow porting to systems where function pointers are incompatible with data pointer C-wise. 8. Support cross-compilation correctly. 9. Support multilibbing. 10. More testcases. Faster test suite. Please submit test cases for stuff that does not work.
