cross-platform c++ classes?

[Carl Parrish]

Okay maybe I'm not understanding. If you need a cross platform  COM like 
API,  The one I know of is XPCOM. If you need the API to be closed 
source then of course this wouldn't work for you. If you're looking for  
cross platform front end tools. XPFE was made just for that (another 
mozilla tech <g>). Although I do get excited about mozilla I do relize 
that its still concidered new to a lot of ppl (I've been working with it 
for about a year now so it doesn't feel that way to me). I would be very 
happy to find out if QT could work with XPCOM however. I'll try to look 
up GSD.
