Sharing of ideas and code is a good thing, I would like to encourage
it. While our UI is different the overall function of the applications
isn't and as such, concepts should translate between the two apps.
Perhaps we should register on each others dev lists so we can help
out?

I don't want to use this lib because as I understand it (correct me if
I'm wrong); the coaster guys are really bleeding edge and we would
exclude users on older platforms. I was upset when we had to go to gtk
2.4 :-)

libburn is out of the question at the moment as it only works on linux
(again, please correct me if I'm wrong). I believe there is talk of it
supporting the BSDs etc but not yet. Until that becomes a reality, we
won't be looking into libburn again.
