* SSL/TLS library (upd: MbedTLS ported) + make http.obj library use it for HTTPS support
  '''Full NTFS support [▓▓▓ 50%... ]'''
* pthread port
  The reading works good, no writing yet

  '''Mouse driver and cursor arrow perfectising'''
  There are still some problems with mice remaining, but nobody cares.
  By the way: the scrolling is also in this set
 
  '''GUI improvement'''
  No designers ready to make a proper plan at the moment,
  to say nothig about the executive stuff to carry it out...
 
  '''To remake the Desktop as a single application'''
  Ideally, to bring all the GUI to ''DLL <-> Desktop'' tandem
 
  '''IPC improvement'''
  Completion, perfectising, etc.
 
  '''device enumeration - without system reboot'''
  PnP-related stuff
 
  '''Full-featured installation suite [▓▓ 30%... maximYCH]'''
