Hi guys,

	Markus - nice catch - really cool to get that nailed :-)

	Oooh ! :-) it looks really rather nice; how efficient is the compiled
representation ? hopefully much more so than the big chunks of in-lined
UNO-ness that existing code uses :-)

	I'm excited. Re-thinking my annoyance with getting VCL bootstrapped,
and seeing the level of build parallelism that gnumake exposes - it is
not clear to me that we need to use UNO APIs as a tool to expose more of
that, though clearly some level of circular dependency breaking via
interfaces is useful.

	What do I mean ? - I'd like us to consider building configmgr rather
early in the build, and simply linking VCL & above to it, leaving the
UNO API in place for back-compat & extensions, but using a native API
for new code.

	If we could combine that with avoiding the need to load types.rdb to do
struct <-> Any handling for PropertyValues - perhaps we could make our
bootstrapping logic, code structure etc. rather simpler for unit tests &
simple test apps in the tree.

	Anyhow - fun :-)

	Regards,

		Michael.
