[photran] development

[Arjan van Dijk <Arjan.van.Dijk@xxxxxxx>]

Hi!

December is a good month for sending
out wishlists and to look forward.
About a year ago I posted a message
asking for 
a "quiche-eaters Photran installation
package", containing
all necessary stuff in 1 huge bundle.
The reaction at that time
from Jeffrey Overbey was:

installs Photran, but also the

I'm wondering how far the Photran development team
is in
setting up such an installation package. Also, the
inclusion
of the "makemakefile" utility (to automatically
generate and sort 
a list of source-files for the compiler to build a
project
from only the main source file) has my special attention!

How far are we/you?

Happy coding in 2009!

Regards,


Arjan
