I agree with Christian here. Pe is "just" an editor and I personally have
no intention to change it into a proper IDE. That's just too much work,
esp. since several IDE-developments are (rumoured to be) on their way.
Furthermore, I believe the internal workings of Pe to not be sufficient for
a proper, extensible IDE. It works, but it's a bit of a mess, really... >:oP
