Hi all

I'm catching up with the currency QuEP thread. Great work guys!

I did that 3 weeks ago. Wasn't I smart? ;-)

So much that I remember a crazy discussion with Luigi and Enrico about a
QuantLib-CORBA experiment aimed at exposing the whole QuantLib C++ to CORBA.
While that experiment would be really crazy I think that we can set up a
QuantLib-CORBA repository. To have a QuantLib based CORBA layer that
implements the full currency module and maybe also an experimental
TermStructure interface would be a GREAT achievement, something that would
really boost our project.

Looking for volunteers .... ;-)
