Hello Lutz,
I'm curious, when you say there is no more 3rd party libraries in the 
code, do you mean the gui of this new moray only uses the windows gui 
interface or is it cross platform (like unix for example) ? For example, 
the well known libraries 'wxWidgets' and 'Qt' are both cross platform 
but they are considered as 3rd party libraries... Can you provide more 
explanations about the dependencies (OS compatibility, etc...) of the 
new Moray ?
Regards,
Antoine.
