Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Some questions about Helios M4

Ok, thanks. I'll take a look at the local build.

The categories are not a very good match for PTP, so I've been debating what to do. PTP adds Fortran support, so that can logically come under "Programming Languages", however for the other parts of PTP it's less obvious. PTP provides static analysis, launching, monitoring, and debugging tools for parallel programs. I've put this under "General Purpose Tools", but it's not a very good fit. Another component of PTP is the Remote Development Tools (not mobile/device, but rather for developing programs that reside on a remote machine), which I've also put under "General Purpose Tools". I would prefer to see a new top level category for something like "Parallel and Remote Development", but I presume there's hoops to go through for that.
