iCase, no.

Per your clarification on what an IDE actually is, I agree it is a must for
software development. But I still say an editor would suffice for the purpose
that was beign discussed. (It could go as far as invoking the needed
independant preprocessors for the code being tested, tho in a full IDE the
preprocessors would be seen as a seperate component.)
