[Omake] New commercial user of omake

[Alain Frisch]

Hello,

I'm happy to announce that Lexifi, the company I'm working for, has 
successfully switched its build system to OMake. Our code base is made 
mostly of sources in MLFi (our dialect of OCaml, about 250 kloc), C# (90 
kloc) and C (10 kloc). The platforms we support are Win32 (Microsoft and 
Mingw toolchains) and Linux. Moving to OMake was very enjoyable and the 
result is a drastic gain in compactness, efficiency and robustness of 
our build system. Thanks to OMake's developers for such a wonderful 
tool! Feel free to mention us on your "Users and Projects" page if you want.

Currently, we have hacked some quick and dirty support for Mingw. It 
would be great if OMake supported this toolchain natively. Is there any 
plan to do so? Ideally, it should be possible to use different 
toolchains in different parts of the project.

A small problem: sometimes, omake freezes and we must kill it with 
Ctrl-C. We have observed this behavior several times under Windows (XP 
and Vista) during parallel builds. Are parallel builds supposed to be 
robust under Windows?
