i just want to note, that when building zexy as separate externals 
instead of one big library you are _not_ getting all the functionality.

i am sorry for that but it cannot be helped: the problem is as simple as 
finding an alphanumeric name for the setup-function of [>~].
(yes there are abstractions for [>~], but there are serious problems on 
some platforms with forbidden characters like ">"; and the abstractions 
are less high-performance than the externals are/would be; and they have 
slightly different behaviour!)

i once addressed thes problems (solutions should be simple enough), but 
since nobody answered that mail, i guess it is of no importance.
