Yet another IDE

Well....

   I've been looking at every available IDE for Eu. Especially
   Judith's IDE looks really nice.... but...

   The Eu-specific IDE programs all mimic the VB/Delphi/whatever
   paradigm. This is great for building small applications with
   a few windows (let's say 10 or so), but for large (very large)
   projects this is not working for me (probably because I'm used
   to working with a high-end CASE/IDE tool).

   What I want is an IDE that is more project-centric, capable of
   handing a hundred windows or more, loads of include files, auto-
   matic detection and loading of include files, cross-references
   for functions across a complete project, detection for collisions
   between global and local defined vars, etc.

   I also want it to be more of a production environment with options
   to run complex build-scripts that can completely build a
   distribution, including an installer if needed. Because of this,
   and to make this IDE as flexible as possible, almost everything
   needs to be scriptable.

   To make a long story short: I'm going to build it myself.
   As this is a pet project AND my introduction to programming in
   Euphoria, it might take some time before there is anything usable.
   I will probably grab all kinds of stuff from the Eu archive too.

   If anyone is interested in this, let me know. If people would like
   to collaborate on this project then I can set up a wiki for it.

   Looking forward to your replies
