 I think it would be nice if everyone could see the code. Again, I assume
that it's ok for us to comment on it (i.e. it doesn't go against Google
rules).

 Yes.

 No offense but pkgmngr is quite un{read|pronounc}able. We need a better
name...

 I'm afraid I disagree with Julian here -- I don't see why integrating
(parts) of the code in other projects should be more difficult if XRC is
used. It's not that I have any strong arguments in favour of XRC but I
think you should use what you prefer and what is faster for you.

 OTOH if you do not use XRC but write the layout code in C++ I think it
would be really better to do it by hand as automatically-generated code is
really difficult to manage.

 I think you should be free to choose them in any way you want provided
they satisfy the project goals. In fact, I really think you should make a
(much more) detailed list of goals for the program first, maybe at

	http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/ComponentManager

Once Julian agrees with it, then you should start implementing it.
