Oh, you're right. I wasn't aware there was a newer Git repository.

If that's something you guys are interested in, I could certainly answer any
questions about how the VMLAB APIs work. Some of the existing components
could even be made cross-platform if the GUI code is commented out (for
example my I2C EEPROM component)

I know some of the VMLAB users have complained about the C/C++ only
interface being a little hard to use, so they would probably prefer
scripting. I've even thought about using the
http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/cint C/C++ interpreter as a possible
scripting interface, but I'm not sure if using it would be much easier than
just compiling the C++ code directly.
