Work has begun. The first step is to achieve proper separation of the 'tools' and 'lib' directories - so the 'tools' directory will only use the new library interface. If you watch the lvm-devel list you'll see a number of patches going into the tree and the new interface evolving. Feel free to help out on the lvm-devel mailing list. Alasdair -- agk@redhat.com
