Gustavo, <div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Do you have any comparisons of the advantage of using this instead of EET[1,2]? Enlightenment is using EET for a long time now and things just work, it's easy to use and performs well, does not depend on external libraries.

I think it's admirable, but not likely to work because of the enormous number of configuration files that need to be worked with. Dan
