I too agree with this direction. The source code in slang, *.st, (as in the 
case of lexx and yacc) should be kept separate from the tool (vmmaker) for the 
sake of copyright, patching and version control. Having it all in a single 
image is convenient but that doesn't change the fact that interpreter and 
plugins are separate copyrightable units.

BTW, it is possible to generate the C sources automatically in a batch 
process. It is just not popular for interactive development. See:

December/142547.html

Working interactively is fine for a single platform like OSX/Wintel but isn't a 
batch process preferred when applying patches and building it for multiple 
configurations as in Debian?
