 Unfortunately, this is an area I haven't had any experience in. These days my
"programming" skills are make, make install. Doing ./configure is sometimes a
challenge :-)

 I've got more of an interest in db backed websites than C or C++. I've just
never learnt, or had a need (or reason) to learn C++, and my C is 2nd Uni EEE
deg standard - i.e. not all that good.
 Of course, if anyone has any projects I could start on...
