[ Please have a look at ^ and ^^ ]

[ Thanks pharris, psycon ]

I have done some basic testing, from past one week. Now I presume I have
fair knowledge of code generation. From last night I have made a repo in
gitorious [1].
Please have a look at it, and what is the next milestone that I should take
in.
Waiting for all your replies ASAP
With Love
