I don't want answer for Marco Kesseler, but it seems that Sigfried Gonzi
misunderstood the answer.

Calling an EXECUTABLE is not calling a FUNCTION.
Launching an external APPLICATION in Clean , MxyztplkStrumpff or other 
popular language is *of course* possible, and even trivial, since this
is the very basic task of *any* operating system. This doesn't mean that
an interface for a *function* being a part of a compiled, relocatable module
is available...
