Would like to request that someone post template external project for Project Builder.  I am a and Limux and Win32 developer so I have those covered.  However, I have very limited knowledge of Project Builder and would appreciate any assistance offered.  My hope is to publish a external on OS X, Windows 32bit, and Linux that will do the following:

System COW (Copy on write) fork() [System level *NIX-Cygwin Windows]
Provide System Mutex, Semaphore and Events [System level]

COM Dispatch Driver (Windows only).
