   Something could be easier to do at the moment (I dont think C= will
   modify its OS the way you want before X.0, X >> 2) : why not build
   a library which would enable programmers to use for instance Power
   Windows editable resources files in their apps instead of the generated
   source code ? (read Power Windows or any other Resed like GadgetEd or
   the alikes). I think this would enable separating resources from code,
   and editing resources without modifying code, without modifying the OS.
   We've seen many libraries coming up during the few last months, and this one
   should not be an untakable effort.
