I recall that discussion cropping up in the past. I managed to get rebar3’s port_compiler plugin to support erlfdb in this PR: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-erlfdb/pull/29 <https://github.com/apache/couchdb-erlfdb/pull/29> As far as I can tell the `pc` plugin does basically the same thing as `enc`; i.e., hack and slash through rebar2 to extract the parts that are relevant to native code compilation, while preserving the configuration interface.

I’d probably defer doing anything with config till we tackle some of the simpler cases, but I am definitely open to folding it into CouchDB and giving up on the idea of it as a general-purpose app. Cheers, Adam
