I saw that, and I saw the schema files. I had a look at the one for C, 
because I don't know the first thing about Ada, and it's not nearly 
enough to describe even the tiniest subset of C. And I saw the example 
session he posted here, where he supposedly compiles something, but 
doesn't even run it. It looked like that compilation did nothing but 
folding and folding and folding. And he didn't run it!

So it looks like that's the status of the project now: a compilation 
step that does /something/, but apparently doesn't result in anything 
runnable. And some work-in-progress (seemingly) schema files, but 
nothing concrete yet.

But I wanted to give Mr Flibble to benefit of the doubt, and asked more 
explicitly about the status of the project. Apparently I was too late, 
Mr Flibble was already banned, but I didn't know that yet.

I've thougt about downloading the whole thing and trying to build it. 
But I'd have to install Visual Studio 2019 first and probably some 
dependencies. It didn't seem worth the effort.

Roel
