Yes. "C or C++". Notice that I said a semi-goal is to make the end
product rewritable in plain C. I am willing to upgrade this to a
full-fledged goal if it pleases the masses.

Well, since I'm not asking anything (much) of you, I guess I don't
have to answer this. But somebody has to do the work, and preferably
somebody in deep hack mode with nothing else in his/her mind to crowd
out the Perl.
I've got all my code in a publicly accessible CVS server, and I'd be
happy to move it to someone else's publicly accessible CVS server (or
Perforce or Perverse, if it's all it's cracked up to be).
