That's just strange.  I started working on one last night!  I got as far as
translating the function prototypes and handle typedefs, so I'll post them here
after I get home tonight (6-7PM EST).  

Bad news is, I'm hip-deep in linker and runtime problems.

Actually, if anyone else out there knows how to best resolve these kinds of
problems, I'm all ears.  

Using Coff2Omf.exe on the provided libs links fine, once I throw in the required
microsoft libraries (oldnames.lib and some others), but it throws an access
violation on XML_Parse.  Using ImpLib on the .dll files provided complains that
the name-mangling is incorrect (missing leading '_'); I've taken to mucking with
the config and rebuilding under msvc6 to resolve this, but to no avail.

I would like to help with testing. (Actually, I need this stuff :D so ... )
and - I'm a linux user so I could help from this side of the problem.

Awesome.  At the very least, you can help me see if my translation of expat.h is
sane or not.

The rest, I'm afraid, is a "Microsoft/Digital-Mars Impedance Mismatch"... I'll
call it "MiD-MIM" since it happens enough to be named, and "COFFOMFIM" sounds
like a bad cold.  The expat source-code is downright hostile to DMC.

Also, I dug around and found out that Brian's old binding was done on a Mac, so
odds are a linix binding is going to be much easer to accomplish.

An update on the expat bindings saga.

I discovered this gem from the DMC NG:

http://www.digitalmars.com/archives/cplusplus/3943.html

The short version is: I need to extract the build settings from wxWidgets and
rebuild expat under DMC.  Hopefully, this will eliminate the MiD-MIM. :)

It'll be nice to cruise wx again... I haven't touched it in about 8 years.

Notify me when there will be something for me to do. (Don't hurry
though ...) :D
