Yes, that would be nice, but someone needs to take the time to do it. If =
you
are interested in helping, we always welcome patches.

As it stands, GMTL and CppDOM both suffer from being in a continuous
"experimental" state where build ideas are tried out but never polished o=
r
refined. Frankly, I am quite unhappy with the state of the GMTL and CppDO=
M
builds, and you can read more about my discontentment in the archives for=

this list. I am afraid that I have no time at all for trying to figure ou=
t
how to improve the builds for these packages.
