Well, I have some here in a little sandbox. It's basically just moving from 
MyMoneyMoney (rational numbers using 64 bit ints) to AlkValue (rational 
numbers based on libgmp (http://gmplib.org/). For a smooth transition at some 
point in time I want to base MyMoneyMoney on AlkValue, such that we have

class MyMoneyMoney : public AlkValue

and don't have to touch the app at all (OK, I am in dream mode).

Don't forget docbook in the list of tools. As for alkimia (or do we spell it 
Alkimia?) this is a *must*. Otherwise, no one will use it.
