> C++ compiler

you don't want the cfront-based C++ compiler
we used to use.  it's not the C++ you expect.

and you've got gcc if you really want.

no, it was different.  i did this but it was big and clunky.
it doesn't appear to have made it off my local system
onto emelie, at least not in the form that actually compiled.
maybe i have it on a backup cd somewhere.

libcontrol is supposed to fill the same need, but i think
the lack of automatic geometry really hurts it.  if you're
interested in having a Tk-like library, maybe the best
thing to do is build an auto-packer and a nice limbo/tk-like
interface on top of libcontrol.

> native port of charon web browser

this is /n/sources/contrib/i
