hmm, I thought LGPL mend you can only dynamically link to the library, I'll have
to take another look it seems. Thanks.

If native code isn't a hard requirement, you may want to take a good look at
Python and PyQt.  Your app might run a few miliseconds slower but, compared to
C++, you'll develop it in half the time and with some 3x less code to maintain.
You users will appreciate more features & fewer bugs far more than imperceptible
performance gains ;)

Yes, I've heard more people talking about Python like it's the 8th world wonder,
but for some reason I can't seem to get over the fact it's 'just' a scripting
language. The biggest problem I got with it is it's typeless-ness, maybe I'm old
fashioned (at 33 year old!) but I just do like my memory management and pointers
too much :)
