If I wanted to use make, I wouldn't have worried about writing the Euphoria 
code at all.  Which would then negate the whole need for the project in the 
first place.

The script I am working on is designed not only to build the shared library 
from the sources, but also generate documentation for the project, both for 
the C++ code and the Euphoria code.  Once that is built, then the script will 
install the K4e library files in the location the user chooses.  For that, I 
need it to be much more configurable than make can provide for, not to 
mention have a lot of user interaction, hence the need to display the 
progress of the installation.

Besides, if Euphoria can't handle a rather menial scripting job, then how do I 
convince potential users that it can handle an extremely large volume of GUI 
code?

Thus, it is rather imperative that the installation application be written in 
Euphoria.

I don't have any code to release yet, and probably won't for a bit since I'm 
still really working on the project infrastructure.  But if you are 
interested: http://www.technomajian.net/euphoria/k4e/docs will give you a 
vague idea of what I have up my sleeve.  This is a project that I need, if 
nothing else, just for my personal use, although I hope others will take an 
interest in it.

Thanks,
Travis.
