Oh, yes, but no one can rewrite something in EU *from scratch*
now, I think. About 1400 programs in the Archive, about 400 
authors, more than 10 years of development - 
where is that scratch?

You will just use all that experience and source code now,
to make the new things. But yes, a progress is possible,
be sure.

Good Luck!
