Hi Cees
this is cool.
Alex is working on the MCPackageBrowser. I gave him feedback because
now there are still some
usability problems but when the new version is out this may be a good
idea for your team to have a look.
By the way a while ago alex also did a byte-code loader for MC (10*
faster loading) at that time there was no much interest so we put it
into the fridge but this could help too.

I think that this is good to give feedback on the problems you are
encountering.

My impression is that working with MC should really help but could you
let us know what would
help you (support for renaming of packages and their extensions I
guess, the package browser already supports that) but I'm curious.
