What do you believe that a configure/make system should be?
Just cross-platform single EU program.
EU itself can do any batch job much better than
conventional scripts or primitive batch files.
No, this would not really be an improvement. We're using standard tools that are well understood and supported. I suppose that makefiles are "conventional scripts" inasmuch as they are basically a standard for C-based projects, which euphoria is. I wouldn't describe the configure scripts as primitive so much as simple, and suited to our needs.
The system also will allow us to distribute euphoria as source with the only dependency to build the binaries being the necessary C compiler (i.e., Watcom for Windows or DOS, and gcc for Linux, FreeBSD or OSX) in a way that is standard around the world.
