Oh no :) If you are able to publish it under something other than AGPL, I'd appreciate having a look, no sense reinventing tricky wheels completely from scratch.

You might be underestimating the value here. I have a list of about two dozen wrappers and their value is proportional to the number of compilers/targets/ops supported, plus all the compiler bugs they shield users from. There is a huge difference between something whipped up in a couple of days, vs something maintained for years.

Sure, I'll ask internally.
