	Who knows.

	Now is not a good time to start doing that since not only are the
base libraries not frozen, but some of them will take a while to port -
currently few / no significant user visible code has been ported - and
should not be ported until the infastructure is far, far firmer.

	So, I hope the panel will be re-written to use bonobo extensively,
there are people interested in this, either way - there is no point in
starting writing now IMHO.

	Regards,

		Michael.
