Deimos seems like a great idea to me too, and I also agree it 
will need to be re-organized to allow updates to happen a lot 
faster. I can understand being overly cautious with the language 
and compiler, but C bindings are not in the same category by a 
long shot and need to be maintained by the people who actually 
use them.
