I don't know about the Corel stuff, and I personally think precompiled
headers are a waste of effort. (I could be convinced otherwise.)
Replacing cccp with cpplib was pretty much my pet project, and I don't
have time now or in the near future to do serious work. But if you
wanted to take something off proj-cpplib.html and get it implemented,
that would be great. May I suggest items 8, 5, 7, 10, 18, 19, 20, 22,
and 23? Those could all be done without intimate knowledge of the
code, and would all be a great help. Especially #8. (Note I just
updated that page, so reread it.)
