Re: Porting of new build environment prototype

Hi Martin,

that's nice to read. We also have tried to separate platform 
dependendant parts as much as possible, as we didn't like the way it is 
spread over too many files currently. But OTOH we expect the transition 
to last for several months, so it won't help you in the short run.

Best regards,
Mathias
