That's a very interesting idea. But our users don't even know how to spell the
word compiler. It would be a major problem to establish a working compilation
environment on all the platforms that we support (e.g. we couldn't ship Visual
C++ with our package). Also, it is my feeling that this would eventually lead
to PSYCO II, a large research project in its own right.

P.S.: The darker parts of my ego make me hope that a mature, fully featured and
universally available PSYCO isn't a reality before I retire. Somehow I think my
chances are pretty good ;-)
