I'd put a vote in for this one myself.  For all that I know we've seen how
having all the widgets we use in the libraries, I can also see that a good
number of other additional support classes would also be really nice to have
in various libraries.  Whether that ends up turning them into shared libraries
or Corba objects doesn't really matter to me, but I do think that it would be
nice to build up a set of 'additional support classes' that could be used
across various applications.

For example, I've seen several different implementations of CDDB access and
CD-Rom access, which although nice to have for specific apps, would also be
well suited to some sort of support library.  That way we can continue to
build up a large collection of shared code across applications, which not only
makes development faster as we've got more to work with, but also makes any
bugfixes made more global than "it just fixes this one app".

My 2 cents...
