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?
