- library loader
  - make a module loader
- string library and portability layer
  - snprintf:
    - Solaris 8, linking trouble with _eprintf and ilbstdc++
      (the real problem is we use the g++ linker call for
      pure c libraries, not really good) => de-C++-ify the
      makefile system
  - find solution for char *, TCHAR unicode and friends
- threading
  - handle detached and joinable threads correctly on Windows
  - add conditional variables (thread + mutex + conditional
    will suffice for now)
- core porting
  - PATH_MAX defined in a hard way or fetched from limits.h, not
    good, add probing for fpathconf and friends and test on
    all platforms again
