That would ideally be nice, but that's also a significantly more
complicated undertaking for a number of reasons. First of all, the app
in its current form would probably have to be refactored a bit in
order to make it an embeddable control at all, second, it would have
to take into account ABI compatibility with the current BColorControl
which further complicates the former, and finally there are existing
apps which subclass and customize BColorControl, which would further
need to be taken into account. All in all, not quite so easy as simply
making it an optional package which could be made use of right away.
