I had mentioned in one of my earlier mails that the support
directory in pnet acts like an abstraction layer for the platform
functions. John Le'Brecage brought into my view a small point --
the SEE *is* already using a compatibility library. So why reinvent
the wheel ?.
The "support" layer in Pnet was designed so that it could be
replaced with any other system interface. If someone wants
to build "support" on top of Common C++, then more power
to them.
The real issue is dependencies: bringing in all of Common C++
into pnet to get a handful of utility libraries doesn't seem
worth the effort. If we ever get into supporting PDA's and
such, then the dependencies must be kept to a minimum.
