That was my argument for doing it on trunk.  As I see it, steps are:

1. convert build system to use C++ without any real code changes
2. interactively and concurrently:
   2a. document how things work
   2b. convert discrete parts of the code to C++
   3c. write tests if the code you converted didn't have them yet
3. until you reach a point where we're happy with the design as
   a C++ app
4. refactor: now that we're fully C++, I'm sure there are many
   simplifications that can be made to the codebase
5. happiness, peace on earth, cure for cancer/HIV, end of hunger,
   and no more reality shows

Also, since the plan is gradual and interactive, other people than 
Nicolas can help here and there, which will certainly help it move 
forward a lot faster.

best,
                                               Lalo Martins
