	Yes, this makes sense :-)

	Well, I am pretty bad at this so I'll leave it to you guys :-)
Mono Basic sounds reasonably good though.

	Perhaps you'd like to take a look at the work already done in gb ?

	Cvs module 'gb' at anoncvs.gnome.org

	I would be happy to have your inputs on what you think.

	Looking forward to starting on this soon,

	Regards,
