My product, Felix, is designed to 'build out of the box' on all platforms with minimal pre-requisites, which happen to be: you need (a) Python (b) Ocaml (c) A C/C++ compiler * with development versions of libs People have enough trouble with just 3 pre-reqs without me adding another code base/product to the list -- it is particularly messy on Windows (native) platforms. -- John Skaller Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net
