When was it ever mentioned that euphoria will no longer parse on the 
fly?

I know that dynamic includes are my hack, and I don't complain about 
that, other than to mention that I can't do it anymore.
I would prefer if there were a real method of dynamic includes, but 
there isn't, despite I dunno how many requests.

I consider the main trait of an intepreter to be the fact that it 
interprets my code. Why is it called an interpreter if it has to be 
compiled? It's not even JIT, it's compile, then execute.

Why is it necessary for me to give my clients an executable? The 
interpreted code runs just fine, and it's alot less headaches for me. 
Not to mention that I can actually take advantage of the fact that I'm 
using an interpreter, rather than just some slow language with a nifty 
syntax.

If I have to bind my programs, then that is an extra step I have to do. 
I don't want to, I like using an interpeter for that reason, so I don't 
have to.

How do you suggest I bind my linux CGI apps on my windows machine?
I should use SSH? I could also make a batch script to do it through the 
webbrowser... I still don't think that is a very reasonable solution.

What about automatically generated source code? How should I bind that? 
I could just give my clients the binder with the cgi app I suppose, 
doesn't matter much to me.
