As I just replied to Sven Eric I will try to create a batch build tool in
the next
few days. Your suggestions are also welcome.
    With regards to the ide sources, they are available upon request (to
me),
but are currently not fit for general release. I.e. fairly unreadable,
undocumented,
and still subject to change while I work on the Macintosh version. I am
planning
to release the sources over the course of the next year in a few portions,
probably
starting with the custom control extensions, followed by the editor
portion...
    Mac users can live in hope as the Macintosh port of the Object I/O and
CleanIDE is still progressing well if slower than intended.
