Thanks a lot. Anyway I think I'll move the website to some other
hosting service, since Sourceforge.net is slow and unreliable.
About the development... yeah, it's been a lot of work already, but,
as it always happens when you are doing something totally new, there
are lots of things unfinished/unpolished/difficult-to-use/buggy-prone
that need to be adjusted before API stabilization.
For example I have written a contract programming-like
assertioning/debugging interface and a generic message reporting API,
but both are not yet very usable (C doesn't help, of course).

Sad to hear that, but maybe it's a "common destiny" for us "fighting"
on such complicated long-term things... it's plain difficult to find
help for something that won't work just hacking a couple of lines of
code.

Good! Anyway I just downloaded your papers on Libintegra and Libxtract
from your blog, since I don't seem to understand what Integra is truly
about from the official webiste. I'll read them when I have time and
see what can be done/how we can help each other.

*hehe*
I have the last true exam session before undergraduation, so it's like
that for me too - got no time at all :-)
Best regards,
