Since you seem to be an Apple employee (at least that's what I guess 
from your mail address) can I asume that this is a political change by 
Apple in this regard?
Isn't Apple no longer going to move ObjC++ to the trunk by itself and 
leaves this task to 3rd party volunteers? Has Ziemowit Laski been 
withdrawn from the project (he seems doing other stuff lately as one 
can tell from the cvs list). So please tell me/us, if we are on our own 
now doing the patch or if Ziemowit (or somebody else) will continue 
Apple's work.

thanks for clearing up.
