License: other
Other License: GNU General Public License V2 (not later for now)

No LGPL, reliciensing for closed source projects will be possible for some fee 
(i need money).

Package: MaLa (MacroLanguage)
System name: mala
Type: GNU

Description:
MaLa is a small extendable macro language which can be embedded in applications.

MaLa will be implemented natively for different languages:
    1) C/libhackerlab
    2) C/glibc
    3) Standard C++
    4) Python (maybe)
    5) Pike (maybe)
    6) Prolog (likely)

Its main purposes are:
    * Program option parsing much easier than getopt.
    * Loading configfiles.
    * Providing an interactive commandline UI.
    * Scripting support for small system tools.

Theres is a Wiki for design discussions on:
    http://cehteh.homeunix.org/pipawiki/MaLa
note: currently very incomplete and confusing, will be cleaned up sometime.


Other Software Required:
Depending on the flavour of MaLa some Languages and extra libraries are 
required but most of this dependencies will be optional.

    - Tom Lord's alternaive C-Runtime 'libhackerlab'
    - libreadline (optional)
    - Python
    - Pike

Other Comments:
MaLa will not be hosted on CVS, i use Tom Lord's arch instead.
When MaLa becomes useable I would like to proprose it as a official GNU-Project 
as a new much better getopt alternative.
