That's like what I had in mind :) .

Ok, then I guess we can benefit from each other. The next
thing(tm) I wanted to implement is a dynamic allocated
tree for all the variable data needed during run time. The
tree may be saved (as gz/bz2/plain XML) partly
(configuration) or as a whole (saved game). In addition I
will look into your code and try to figure out a way to
share. If I'm ready I will contact you again.
