Peer

Got the GAC working in MD, now instead of listing all your librarys in $prefix/lib to fake a gac, we actually probe the gac and return all the assemblies in it. Our upcoming 0.3 release (next week) will feature said functionality.

Been working more on the Makefile stuff. I am attempting to grow this system organically using the conversations miguel and I had on the list as a guide. Right now its a useless system in general because it just builds one Makefile.projectname for each project in a solution. There is no guiding makefile generated by the solution to properly setup the build, and no way to do a 'make install' yet. All of this is coming soon, hopefully before 0.3, but more realistically before 0.4. As I said earlier, we wont be replacing the old build system with this new one until either 0.4 or 0.next.

In writing this build system, I have noticed how crappy parts of our project/solution setup is. It is really not intuitive to get the files placed where they make sense. I think part of the big change from 0.3 -> 0.4 will be making that system make sense by default.

In other, totally non-related news, I checked out trow's new indexer, 'dewey'. It looks pretty cool, really fast, and seems like it has huge potential.
