On the contrary ... I'm not really busy now ... (see mailing list 
for proof) . But I'll be glad if someone could really bone up on
PInvoke and help all the developers incoming !

Also Btw, my system has no GL support ... (cut corners around gaming)
and I don't have too much bandwidth :-)

Once up on a time, I had started designing/writing a GTK+Python PyCsant.
It seemed a nice idea as editing XML with bare hands doesn't do any good...
Also unlike Makefiles, the XML files can be easily reloaded for editing
removing the traditional *proj intermediate files .

Anybody interested in taking that up will get my personal blessing and
all the help he can handle..

Jay is a port of YACC , and not Bison ...

If someone can get their hands on a Free Java Lexer , I shall provide
help with porting into C# ...
