Technically, yes. It works fine. CMS is snappy and responsive, and it's a
dream for MAILBOOK.

Legally... well, depends on what else you need to do. Only the IFL-licensed
products are legitimately available, which is a pretty small list compared
to the Rest of the World. If you do your own development (and note that the
compilers are not on the list of things that you can license on an IFL at
the moment), you could probably do rather well.

Sounds like a real incentive to augment the latest gcc drop to improve the
CMS module support, or at least that's what I'd do...8-)
