RE: [cdt-dev] Build model proposal

Hi!

Fair enough, but if you are only looking at the model, you are ignoring
the biggest focus of an IDE: the UI. I can get access to C compilers
without an UI already and I don't have to run a JVM to get it. 

Contributed toolchains without contributed UI's to configure the tools
are useless in an IDE. 

Thanks!
