the main problem with cweb is the namespace issue, since cweb uses all kind
of one-char commands. This is why the cweb module is larger than actually
needed [since i have to keep track of resets and so]
if you have a good overview of noweb macros and support needed [kind of lay
the framework for me] then it's not a big problem to hook it into context
commands.
