I wanted something easily to build, distribute and host.  I would also have thought it's faster to test and 
build.  And finally, to lazily avoid digging too deep in the source code for a first modification (it's quite 
a pain to browse without an IDE that allow to jump to the definition/declaration of a symbol and it's hard to 
find an IDE that can parse the project tree with autotools, the vim ctag combination drives me nuts so much 
it's not friendly to configure and use)

All right, I'll try to figure out how to hack the code and fork it.  I'll get down to it and try to have a 
friendly ctag file to work with.

Thank you !
