Bummer, I had been thinking of doing a PalmOS port once I finished
with Win32. But I'm not quite willing to rewrite the collector =)
Perhaps I could use Jump2's collector: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jump/
Jump itself lacks threads and reflection, although I can probably do
without those. I wouldn't have needed shs anyways.
