I couldn't agree more with Hans as far as implementation, and the fact that
the IDE is Windows-only is its greatest barrier to me (I thought Andre was
going to have open-source tools from the getgo?). If Andre wants a Mac
beta-tester for checking that the system works and properly compiles/generates
object code, I have Jaguar and Panther available here.
