Redesigning DEHS (a.k.a. changing the watch files atmosphere)

time to open the doors to other people

DEHS being more than four years old has only been modified to satisfy most of the current needs. Rewriting DEHS in perl with a new design, doing things at the right place (i.e. extraction of watch files), and more should be discussed and input, and code, from several people is needed.

It is time to get DEHS in shape for the future. With the input from several people, teams, groups, and others, DEHS should be able to correctly satisfy the need of most of them. Aiming to do things The Right Way the whole process that starts with the extraction of watch files (getting ready for the version 3.0 source formats), checking of watch files (including the uscan utility), are to be redesigned or rewritten.
