Okay... I'll start working on this as soon as possible (= when the bugs
i'm working on could be considered "fixed")

I was thinking about something smarter than Nuke's system: I said and
hereby say that I do not like Nuke (and its derivates) at all :>
I though about a new runtime system which can use the existing .pp

detailed masterplan on this. As soon as I have time to do it (I hope
this weekend), I'll post it to all of us.
