I tried moving to a more ANSI compliant structure before but it was met with some opposition (ie having to migrate Linux up is somewhat ackward). I had broken and fixed packetcollector but the cryptographic source was never at my disposal to upgrade and so we ran into problems of ambiguity. With the recent compiler changes in both GCC and the .NET initiatives, coding for linux isnt all that for off Windows code anymore, its actually quite impressive. As a small info tidbit, the .NET compilers now make bytecode just as Java did and I wouldnt be surprised if we started seeing cross platform interpreters popping up. Well, I am almost settled in now and look forward to coming back and helping out again when my class schedule will permit.
