Great!  I'll update the site to show that you own these tasks.

Excellent!

Precisely what you should do.  I'm encouraging people to just copy the 
Be header files and make their modifications from there.  Goes a long 
way toward preserving binary compatibility.

Use cases suck to write, but they're really instrumental in making sure 
you've written all the necessary test cases -- especially when it comes 
to verifying failure modes.  When I was implementing BArchivable, I was 
*amazed* by how ungracefully it would fail when given bogus input (NULL 
pointers, etc.).  This is the kind of thing where we can easily improve 
upon the existing library.
