Thanks to everyone for your input. We will probably give them a program
and a makefile, so they can use make, copen and friends along with
editing. As it is, many of them come from a background of Borland's C++
environment, not latest-and-greatest Eclipse and the like, so hopefully
we'll get a positive response.

Cheers,
Vlad
