So yes, libh is kinda bad, for me at least. And it involves a lot of C++ magic I don't really like. But, as always, if someone feels like picking the horse (wether it's alive or dead I'm never too sure), feel free! The code is there for anyone who dares to look. I've also put up a doxygen framework and there's a bit of design doc, so no, libh's still no so bad since so much people put so much time in it during its long existence. I apologize again for being so brutal to this project which had so high hopes and also to all the people who worked on it. Cheers, A.
