Exactly. That's why I said (or at least I thought about it, don't remember if I
said it in the mail), that maybe it would make more sense to extract the
language support out of the project classes, and let projects use support for
whatever language they need (e.g., linux needs support for very specific
languages, automake projects could try to detect which languages must be
supported by looking at configure.in, generic projects could add support for all
languages, etc.).

Of course, that would make sense only if there is some language-specific logic
in EDE (besides setting variables like the include paths), which I don't know.
