Sure, but it's not in GOBO yet. These changes will happen just before
the merger. To do it now, just starts confusion: A tool that is part of
eXML should not start with "ge", a tool that is part of GOBO should.

Me too.

Btw, I think I will extend condition variables to include values. just
like environment variables. Therefor I was looking for a new command
line syntax and came up with that:

variable-definitions: --define="VAR_NAME[=VALUE]( VAR_NAME[=VALUE])*"

examples: 
--define="FOO=BAR"
--define="FOO=bar ISE VE PLATFORM=linux"

this new form has the advantage that it is get-opt conform. Now this is
not GOBO conform, but I think in this case we should consider changing
the ge-tools to conform to get-opt instead. What do you think?
