I don't know if ddd or (g)vim allows in back-door "control" hooks. The
Amiga used ARexx to "glue" programs together, and programs had hooks to
allow ARexx to manipulate the program -- which would make building an
IDE out of disparate tools quite feasible.
Perhaps the thing to do would be to look at how to get our favorite UNIX
tools to be controllable by an external process w/o trying to proxy
access to the user.

Really, has anyone bothered to even look at the features of Understand?
Code Forge? How about features of other IDEs, etc. that are out there? Code
Write? (I loved the later when I had to develop embedded systems under
Winsucks, but last I looked it had no Linux version. Time to check again.)
Anyway, Understand will allow you to do all you list above. Code Forge will
allow it as well. Why write something when they already exist, unless you want
to. My point is that when I have a job to do, I do not want to be bogged down
in screwing with making the tools when someone else has already done it. I want
to find the most expedient way of getting the task at hand completed.
