Well, of course i will be necessary stoped at a moment or another. But the
very first step will be a kind of empty SDK with minimum feature. The big
deal is more to define Source Code organization, software interface
management, and other small things that allow us to go directly on the real
subject after. And i think i have the experience for that.

Also, i can design the things in order to let most of the choices openned
and changeable. I don't want to make an other VB-SDK (i already own many
private ones :-) i just want to bring the GMPI group on the first step
concerning the source code, because i'm still convinced that we have to
manage a source project in the same time we talk about requierement or
technical problems...
