A good solution is to go in and reverse engineer the libraries for the
different existing programs.
Then write a program that converts between library types.
That does two things:
1) Lets you convert all the public domain libraries you can find and
ship them with your programs
2) Lets you sell an add-on to companies that have proprietary
libraries they use or sell.
By the way, make your converter two way. That way it is a real stand
alone product that does not
require you to grow market share of a mature market with lots of
preexisting, big name competitors
to make money. You have two possible revenue streams that are not hard
tied to each other.
