This will be changing soon. Right now ingy dot net and I are working on Inline::Module, which will allow authors to develop an XS extension using Inline and Inline::C (or Inline::CPP), and then with a simple command convert that to an XS distribution, free of the Inline dependency.

This provides the author with the assistance of Inline, and the user with the light-weight-dependencies and characteristics of common XS.

The project is ongoing, but should be pretty much ready to start using within a week or two. After that, additional polish will be applied as needs are discovered. This work is being supported in part by a Perl Foundation Grant. And we have a blog that discusses our progress at http://inline.ouistreet.com. (Sneek preview; the Week #3 report, due out Saturday night, will reveal that we've got all stages working now.)

Work is being done out in the open as much as possible. As we're working, we communicate realtime in #inline on irc.perl.org. Visitors (and possible code contributors) are welcome to drop by. There won't be much action today due to some travel, but when we are working together you'll see ingy coming up with crazy/cool ideas, and me trying to keep up. ;)
