Yes, sure, I just specified it because when I first released KMMapServer (in
july) a download fee was asked (so it was just "free as in speech" at that
time).

I did'nt know, this sounds interesting.
We'd better wait and see if this library can be used.
The last time I seriously coded in C (was C++ indeed) was more than 10 years
ago, my recent actvities with C are limited to some GTK+ porting for the
Maemo platform.
I dont' know if I am the right man to do this job. I now feel much more
comfortable with web-oriented languages (PHP, javascript etc.).

I coul'nt agree more.
My PHP script could be a temporary solution, before KML is integrated in the
core.
