Very unlikely. and what would be the point anyway. if the language and the build system is not to your liking, why bother trying to peg a square in a round hole ? it surely would be much simpler to find a project that 1/ is related to your subject matter and 2/ already share your tool choices... Or even start one from scratch would be preferable rather than waste a lot of effort and time working around/against establish patterns. Norbert </blockquote></div> </div>
