* do you talk now about Valentina for Cocoa? V4CC.framework?

* IF you talk about C++ SDK then note it is not a framework but set of
dylibs. So then it sounds on THIS LEVEL no need for Apple's GC.

* should we only set some compiler switch or we need redesign code ?

* should we have provide 2 versions of framework or
    GC-version should become single choice?
