Some general notes about integrating support for
other compilers in RHIDE:

If you want to do so, You can check it at first by defining
your own rules for that compiler via env. variables and testing,
if it will work with RHIDE. Look in the RHIDE doc about the
compiler specs.

If this is working for you and you want to have these rules
builtin in RHIDE you have to send me at least the following
information:

1) Which suffixes should be used for the source files as default?
2) What is the EXACT calling convention for that compiler (or
   can it be compiled using gcc)?
3) How should the error checking performed?
4) Is that compiler available for free (So I can get it)?
5) Some more or less complex samples so I can test it.


As you can see, this is not soo much. And also coding a new
compiler in RHIDE is also not so hard when I have exact information
about it.
