Heh...at this time, no.  I don't think I want to support loads of
versions of Low Pro and peronally I've never seen where Mootools fits
into the puzzle as far as JS libraries are concerned.  In my opinion,
it doesn't really offer anything that Prototype or jQuery haven't got
so I've never thought to use it myself.  However, Im by no means
saying it's not a good library.

I'd be totally happy for someone to do the port though.  After using
Low Pro's behavior classes quite heavily over the past year or so I'm
really convinced that its the best way of writing components and
managing the complexity of Ajax applications in general and the idea
is totally transferable between libraries.  I even considered trying
to write Low Pro in a library independent way but after investigating
it it definitely felt like it would end up very over-engineered.

To be honest, Low Pro has become quite a compact piece of code so it
would only take me another 30 mins or so but I'm not sure I'd be
qualified to support code that I wouldn't use myself and it would be
better ran by someone from the Mootools camp.

Cheers,
