I agree. As long as they are compatible...

But I'll switch to .ecf, and simply stick a notice in gexace that
development has stopped, and new options will not be supported. That's
good enough for me.


The big advantage of .ecf is that it supports using libraries at
different stages of Eiffel evolution, gexace just emits a single .ecf
and that does no longer always work.
