[CLN-list] FYI: CLN fork

[Alexei Sheplyakov]

Hello!

CLN is a great library, but it has a number of problems.

1. CLN can be built only with GNU C++ compiler. Even worse -- some bits
   of CLN (in particular, include/cln/modules.h) work only with specific
	 versions of GCC, so CLN can break at any moment (this actually happens
	 with every new [major] release of GCC).
	 
2. The code is a bit obfuscated.

3. The build scripts are extremely user- and hacker-hostile.

Since CLN developers keep [silently] refusing patches addressing these issues,
I've decided to fork CLN. The code can be obtained from git repository:

git://ffmssmsc.jinr.ru:443/varg/cln.git

To view the repository on-line point your browser to 

http://ffmssmsc.jinr.ru/~varg/git/gitweb.cgi?p=varg/cln.git

Best regards,
	Alexei
