cross-platform c++ classes?

[Carl Parrish]

Sorry if I sound like I think Mozilla is the solution for everything. 
But to me this sounds a lot like what XPCOM does. So you may want to 
check this site. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xpcom/.
To be honest I don't know what they did to make it cross platform. But I 
use the API. it is cross platform and quite handy.  You may also want to 
look into the portability guide.
http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/portable-cpp.html. Some of it is Mozilla 
specific but I think there is a lot a good advise here. Like I said *I* 
don't really get into the XPCOM source but it has to be there somewhere 
and perhaps it could help you. If you want it and can't find It let me 
know and I'll look it up.
