I am not a big fan of such top lists as it covers only part of the needs. More importantly, what's about the porting strategy? New branch, #ifdef hell or separate files? Separate or common releases? Using pickle, almost everything is possible from an install/update point of view, support for install from VCS makes the new branch(es) option easier too. However we have to define what we would prefer to do. Cheers, -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://www.libgd.org
