I'm actually quite happy with this change: it means that we can probably roll 
our own changes and those from GUSI into a single library with selected parts 
of MSL (which is apparently still shipped in source form). That would 
forestall all sorts of errors (like linking libc before GUSI).

Also, there's a couple of mods that I would like to make to sioux (a 
python-specific menubar, clicking on a line to allow you to retype/edit the 
line, possibly clicking on an error to send you to that line in your editor of 
choice) that would make the Python environment a lot more friendly (even if 
still far from a real IDE).

Matthias said that he has his CW11, so I'll just wait another week or so for 
him to release his new version of CWGUSI before I start hacking on it.
