Most tools are still in a 'beta' state, with little or no updates. Perhaps the source to these tools could be released so members can do a bit of DIY work, as it looks at the moment like were not going to get ANY updates to the tools available. Anyone else share this opinion? I'd certainly be prepared to help 'better' the current tools available. Perhaps an SIOCONS variant that understood the MW file serving protocol. This shouldn't be too difficult, and would certainly 'unite' the great divide between Metrowerks and GNU users.
