Not *after* means *before* the release. ;-))
OK, understood (and expected) the motivation.

I admit I considered the same but I hesitated because I have no idea
whether the generated C files might be arch independant.  If the
resulting C++ files would be different per architecture this could
case problems - if you would confirm that this is not the case I
would go this path.

Kind regards
