Well, in my case (someone who is using MS solutions), improving PQM
interface won't help much because I've doubts if it runs on Windows at all
(without Cygwin, SFU or other intermediate layers).
Integrating it with SmartServer solves my problem in elegant way (IMHO).
There will be no any extra dependency, any problem with MS software
integration (*mail+procmail is good but what about MS Exchange?). Also you
can allow user to choose server mode - PQM with extended SmartServer
protocol or plain SmartServer.
Having gatekeeper is advantage. Having gatekeeper which works on Windows is
big advantage because many developers work on Windows, many work on
Windows/*nix mix. Ignoring them would be bad idea (GNU Arch, which was my
first DVCS, did it and it was +2c for its ticket to nowhere).
NOTE: I'm trying to avoid design and implementation issues. My intention is
to show you that people (at least me) are looking for problem solution and
how this solution might looks like.
