Hi!

We don't plan to port the libraries to C++, as we try to keep these
portable and adding an object layer on these wouldn't help that much.

The MySQL server is already written in C++.

We plan to document the whole source tree, but for the moment we
haven't time to do this :(

If anybody wants to volunteer, just mail us :)
