<DIV>Greetings. I am the creator and maintainer of a small collection of
programs known as PUD (Programmer Utilities Distribution). I've been
working on this project off and on since 2000. It started as a back
scratcher, and now has a regular user base of approximately 75 users that have
given me feedback. Almost all of them have expressed to me that they
believe that PUD would be a very interesting bit of functionality to add into an
IDE program. I'm aware of some functionality provided by PUD already
existing in your program. I have mastered the "art" of skeleton source
file creation through trial, error, and feedback from users. Basically,
the main function of PUD is to create skeleton files from templates and styles,
while taking into account configurations set by the user. I've just
completed rewriting the heart of PUD in C. I've got most of the functions
that actually do work in a small library, libpud. I think that your
program could benefit from some of the functionality provided by PUD. If
you wish to take a look at PUD, you will find it at <A
href="http://pud.sourceforge.net">http://pud.sourceforge.net</A>. Please
note that the new C versions of the PUD programs are still rather new. I
just completed them and released them this evening. As soon as the new
version gets some use I will be able to nix whatever bugs it may have. I
do not plan on changing the interface for the library for libpud, and I would be
more than delighted to help someone implement the library. Although, since
I'm not familiar with kdevelop, I don't see myself being able to implement
anything myself. If you wish to discuss this any further, or decide that
this is not a change you wish to make, please simply let me know. Thank
you very much.</DIV>
