Yes and no... ;o)

GCMD can be now compiled as C++ app - so  from my (somehow limited)
point of view it is already migrated (and believe me - it has not only
been just renaming from *.c to *.cc ;o) The current code is ready for
using C++ features, although I do not plan to rewrite code from scratch,
maybe in a future just by the way... 

Yes, you're right GCMD relies heavily on plain old C constructs
(pointers, structs, ...) at the moment - the transition is not finished,
it's just the beginning... But as I can see it - the change will allow
faster coding and possibility of importing the best things from other
projects ;o)

Any help is VERY appreciated :o))
