quite possible.  And if it was a few months back, I spent about two months
fighting spam DDOS attacks on multiple servers and got a little
overloaded....

Complete rewrite to render all of ParaGUI in OpenGL.

Actually - most definitely.
Added:
        Graphics driver support for different renderers (default: SDL)
                -> works 100% in SDL, it's the OpenGL driver that's not
                        perfect

Was working on adding plugin support for widgets (which -is- in my C port
just fwiw) so that widget libraries could be easily added and some
additional thread and font support  (for languages such as Japanese with
multiple complex alphabets / directions / ...).

'bout all I can think of at the moment...

G'day, eh? :)
