Good luck! If you succeed it would be really nice! To minimize code rewrite 
you can try to inherit fxStr from standard basic_string<char> class
(implementing those methods, that are missed in basic_string), but IMHO
first of all it is necesary to convert all c-string calls to their fxStr
equivalents. Not so much time is left until 4.1 beta 3 release...

Hope to hear from you soon,
Dmitry
