One good example is that I'm trying out libboost-filesystem for use in a
few places. Boost (www.boost.org) is a large collection of well-written
C++ libraries, and the filesystem library allows me to (for example)
iterate over a directory as if it were a standard container. In the
long-term, I would be very tempted to use this library all over the
code. How objectionable is this idea, and where should I make a note of
it if it's acceptable?
One way that this does relate to the salvage proposal is rewriting the
interface in QT. Presumably this means getting rid of SDL for graphics,
but what about the rest of SDL? Would we want to get rid of SDL
entirely? If so, does anyone know of another platform-independent
networking library? I had been looking at socket++
(http://www.linuxhacker.at/socketxx), but I'm now starting to think we'd
need a lower-level API to do the work we want to do.
