I am interesting in helping the further development of theGFC. I will be
coding mainly
on Windows and will make the VC++ project files available for interested
developers.
I am really not autoconf/automake fan :-(

Library for GPL will have little value. It will be nice to maintain the
current licence of
the GFC. I do not know if the STL will be very useful here, especially
considering the
incompatibilities between C++ compilers and STL libraries currently.

Whenever you get the project off, drop me a line.

Best regards,
Paul.
