Nicodemus, I would like to say thank you for your efforts. Without Pyste
my job was harder. Yes Pyste has a few points that could be improved. 
One of them is back-end. Could you to be more explicit about the problems
with GCC-XML? By the way, the idea to add additional back-end, is not
bad at all.
I though about this and desided: I am going to add an other back-end
to my project,
based on Microsoft bsc files.
