i must say that i agree with Sebastian (yes, i am biased ;-)  You might end
up rewriting a part hydrogen.  Maybe not at first, but gradually the number
of feature requests will go up and you might end up doing duplicate work.
There is nothing wrong with that of course, but it just doesnt seem like
the most efficient way to go.
On the other hand i am also _very_ much a fan of the plugin model rather
than individual apps that are glued together using some type of session
manager...
I'm no programmer, and i do realize that it takes more than a one-liner to
but -allow me to dream for a second- would it not be great if we could
combine the effort that goes into various apps that all do more-or-less the
same thing ?
