Yes of course.

It have no sense to use inside of Valentina engine,
because as I have told we need yet Windows and Linux.

If some switch will be required to make our V4CC.Framework
compatible - no problems...

I even do not see many sense to change V4CC ... Because we use special
techniques to link ADK objects to kernel objects.

Only may be, it can be applied to such objects as Vcursor, Vset which are
returned into ObjC code. We have similar behavior in C#.
