There are some weird things going on in the current code that may need to be fixed/clarified later.

Yes! There is definitely a lot of cruft and 'legacy' in there that needs to be addressed. Once we have the release put to bed it probably is a good idea to get together anyone interested in this aspect and give things a good once-over.

Remember... when we started out the codebase had to support Windows 95 and the associated compilers. Not to mention some of the ancient gcc versions we were supporting then.
