I'd also be interested in helping out with (or doing myself) a classifier 
system lib. I am thinking (now this is a ways down the road) that it 
might be interestion to see if my finite state machines could be turned 
into mini classifier systems (like a learning finite state machine).

As I said, my implementation of this won't be for a while. And if a 
classifier system isn't done by then, I'll probably work on implementing 
one. But... if someone else wants to work with this before I finally get 
around to it, I'd be more than willing to help out. :)

Thanks, I'll let you know.
