I don't know in the base... But LPW Episode II will provide
following feature:
1. Integratied Plugin Wrapper Library
The early LPW was implemented few functions, and unstable
which I thinked. To implement core functions needed by
Netscape Plugins, so I splited pluginwrapper.
But recently, I noticed that some functions are required
by some plugins. As result, I made similar wrapper libraries.
So I'll try to integrate wrapper library.
2. Add AMD64 Target Architecture
I didn't make wrapper library for i386. So I'll try to
split MI/MD:-). But I cannot implement amd64->i386
wrapper:-(.
3. Improved Source Tree
I'll try to change source tree like FreeBSD's src/lib/libc.
