Alain,

 that's right. But we still have a long way until then, and as we first
have to finish separate parts like the interpreter, the file format, the
GUI libraries, and the text engine before we can add things like a message
watcher or port the editing GUI to run on top of that, I think allowing
them to be used as XCMDs might really be helpful in testing the separate
components for stability and reliability before we introduce additional
bugs by glueing them together <g>.

 <gulp> and I'll have some work getting the kinks out of it :-S
