Interesting reading.

One thing I've been thinking for a while: is there a "market" for an
Open Source'd C++ utility library that goes beyond the C++ standard
library? 

Basically it would start up as a collection of utilities like the
string function and class shown in the above URL.  It would then go
further with a good C++ framework for network programming.

Sort of what the ObjectSpace C++ libraries do, but in Open Source form 
and usable for free software.

Of course, there's always ACE
        http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html
which I've looked at, but never tried...

Just a thought!
