Hmm, have to take a look at that.

Idea, question, request for enhancement, treat it as you want.

Is it possible to use your knowledge from the EPP-package to bind true c
code or even a c-library instead of the c code generated through the lpc
precompiler into dgd ? I like the minimalistic aproach of dgd, but would
like support for mysql (I currently use a couple of kfuns to use the mysql
c-api) xml (don't know yet which interface type), perhaps crypto functions
and so on. All stuff where good c-libraries exist (or are under
development) and where performance matters. A bridge to call c-functions
from lpc would help alot. Writing kfuns for this purpose is possible, but
I don't like to populate the driver with lots of functions because I think
that would be bad design. I wouldn't place xml support into the
auto-object, would I? Any ideas? What can be done about this problem?
