To answer mbadolato, should it be object-oriented just because the project manager wants it that way?

It is a community project on which many people have worked and many more people will work in the future, so that's one argument in favour.

More to the point, I'll never have a better reason to attack a project like this: something I simultaneously know how to do off the top of my head and am completely baffled by, when looked at in OO terms.

I'm a lot less baffled now.
