Distel, the other way around

Doesn't need to be the standard interface. Not even necessarily used as an IDE -
but as an output media, or a GUI.

Using directly all Lisp functions in the way I proposed before could work, but
of course one would need to be an Emacs hacker to build something nice. For
simple use, a simpler API would probably be enough.

There is an ongoing effort to make an Eclipse plugin, which I suppose would be
good enough (it's portable and the Java node functionality is better than the
EmacsLisp one)

p.s. The Borland thingie - you mean BuilderX? If yes, I'm not sure if one can
use it for non-C++ projects.
