But then I would like to have someone who reworks the SF
makefile/configure stuff, to have a comparable comfort for generating
modules as with my
[ENH][VM][2.8][2.9alpha?] VMModuleTranslation
implementation is Squeak.
It was quiet a lot work together with the corresponding changes in SF,
but it had been more - and especially more annoying - work to make this
with makefile/configure stuff. But possibly I'm just to ST oriented...
