They are wrappers around gst-load.  While gst-blox and gst-browser are
hard-coded in gst-tool.c, you can do the same with a shell script.
Put the content of Main.st in the <start></start> tag of the package.xml
file.  Then gst-overlord can be something like this:

---------------------------------- 8< ----------------------------------

#! /bin/sh
# Parse arguments into $ARGS
ARGS=$(getopt -l image-file:,kernel-directory:,verbose -o I:vV -- "$@")

# Exit if there was an error
test $? -ne 0 && exit 1

# Move arguments to "$@"
eval set -- "$ARGS"

# Fail if there were any non-option arguments
eval test \$$# = -- || exit 1

# Finally start the package
gst-load -n --start "$@" Overload

---------------------------------- 8< ----------------------------------

I'm not sure whether this use of getopt is portable to non-Linux systems
though.

Hi Canol,

Nice to have a new ide for GST, but why haven't you consider improving
VisualGST ?
For instance your dialog for the class building is nice and I guess I
would add it,
why haven't you send a mail about the ide...

So we will have two inspectors, two transcripts, two workspaces ...

For instance the debugger of VisualGST could be improved send a patch,
have you looked at all the changes I've made for GTK in VisualGST
or at the GTK-Tools?

I guess we can work together to provide a better IDE at least I want that.

Cheers,
Gwen
