  OK, I will look into this myself then. But, don't expect much, as I
started using and hacking (un)Icon less than a month ago...

  Do you think it worthwhile to aim for .Net compatibility, as well as
native C? We seem to already have JVM version, and what I see in the
M$ world is more and more of .Net. OSS seems to take this on, see
projects such as dotgnu and mono. I think usage of un(Icon) can
improve considerably if it can interoperate with .Net (this will also
save us from programming in C#;-), certainly in Windos environment...
