	I don't know in the base...  But LPW Episode II will provide
	following feature:

	1. Integratied Plugin Wrapper Library
	  The early LPW was implemented few functions, and unstable
	  which I thinked.  To implement core functions needed by
	  Netscape Plugins, so I splited pluginwrapper.
	  But recently, I noticed that some functions are required
	  by some plugins.  As result, I made similar wrapper libraries.
	  So I'll try to integrate wrapper library.

	2. Add AMD64 Target Architecture
	  I didn't make wrapper library for i386.  So I'll try to
	  split MI/MD:-).  But I cannot implement amd64->i386
	  wrapper:-(.

	3. Improved Source Tree
	  I'll try to change source tree like FreeBSD's src/lib/libc.
