PenguinTools/ good.

Agreed, we should split it up.  I once tried splitting it into C++ only and
general, but that failed for some reason.

It's for all the shared code.  One day we might put container classes
etc.  although I would prefer to use glib.   (Hehe, yet another sysdep).

There should be _no_ headers not under PenguinPlay/, I really hate it when
libraries give me more than one thing into /usr/iocal/include.  (Exception:
libc).

Eeeeventually.  (I.e when I remember to type "ifup ppp2" instead of "ifup
ppp[01]".


>5) We should define a set of standard exception types, e.g.:
>ppEResourceAllocation   // out of memory/file not found/...
>	"Allocation/Initialization/... of a resource failed"
>ppEIOError   // disk full/...
>	"Some IO operation failed"
>ppEInvalidParameter   // null pointer/value out of range/...
>	"One of the parameters has an invalid value"
>ppEUnsupportedEnvironment  // perhaps better checked at compile time ??

>ppEInvalidData   // corrupt jpeg file / ...
>	"The data currently processed is invalid."
They seem OK.

>(Yes, I want more mailing lists. more! More! MORE!! <drool> ;+)
Or we can just put a watch on the files we care about.  (I have a
busy enough mailbox as it is).
