   The IDE is always manual, without room for automation. This is fine if you   
   only have a straight program, but gets messy in other cases:   
      
   1) e.g. multiple directories some of which must be compiled with different   
   PATH settings. (iow to let the .tpu's of directories shared between programs   
   stay in the shared directory, while the mainprogram tpu's go into its own)   
   2) converters that generate code (e.g. file to include file)   
   3) a rigid build process that manually cleans old .TPUs before starting   
   (E.g. in case they were compiled with different defines)   
      
   etc etc.
