Ok. But don't you think a 'basic' implementation like a <#args> menu
in tool editor (0->n) plus a list of couples <type,name> could be very
useful and sufficient in 99% of cases ? like 2 args, <string,"filename">
and <int,"position"> for example ? Regarding what you've done yet, this
don't seem unfeasible ? And would be *very* useful !

I totally agree on that, I work very often on multiplke target projects,
currently I work on a project with multiple binaries + multiple 
libraries
and it is shame I can't use autogeneration features of anjuta and deal
myself with files lists in Makefile.am.

And totally agree too with the not critical aspect of the insertion 
point.

Thanks for your job.

Erwan.
