I disagree; in fact, that is one of thereasons I suggested lisp.
Perhps it would be harder to write stuff from scratch, but I think
modifing a standard lisp .zephyr.desc file would be easy (anbd that it
what virtually everyone does.)

I don't know what the common opinoin is on whether C or lisp is
easier.
