You are omnipresent in all many newsgroups?

I think other people have far better skills and competence than I do  to
1) tackle the problem in the first place
2) do it in a clean way, according to the high GNU standards.

I want to note that noweb uses a plethora of scripting languages and
porting is thus probably only reserved for the happy few. I know by start
it will be to difficult for me.

noweb would be a VERY nice addition to the cygwin suite. In the literate
programming world, it is the tool of first or second choice. If you are 
willing
to freak and want ultimate control you use Knuths tool. If you just want a
straightforward tool, you use noweb. noweb has a very nice extendable and
concept.

Regards,

Francky
