Re: [C--] a skeleton file for qc-- to start?

It works. Thank you Wonseok! That option is in the manual but I
neither noticed it nor realized what it means.

I visited your website. We share similar interests in programming languages=
 (-:

I'm just briefly writing here how I built qc-- here so others may find
it useful.

As of 20091015, building qc--20090627 on Debian 5 or Ubuntu 9.04 can
be done by installing:

- OCaml 3.08.2
- Lua 4.0.1
- Noweb
- GCC 4.3
- texlive-latex3
- texlive-latex-base
- texlive-latex-extra

The first two are compiled from source while the rest can be installed
by apt-get.

And how about my questions on "section"s?

Cheers,
Xingzhi
