Sure, go ahead. I've been trying to get more people involved for ages.
Not very successfully, so far, I'm afraid.

A C++ book would be better even though much of the utilities is still
straight C with a bit of icing. I also recommend taking a look at cfed as
you can probably reuse quite a bit of code. And if you're feeling
confident enough a generic parser that can be used by all three tools
would be best. ;-)

If you have any questions feel free to ask.
