Cool, we could use some more developers :)

About that bug, are you sure it isn't related to the terminal plugin? Do
you have loaded? There's a bug where the vte reaper reaps things it
shouldn't, which causes anjuta2 to crash on exit iirc.

I just found out that somebody created a "scaffold" project page on
sourceforge september 2002. (sf.net/projects/scaffold) But no files have
been released or anything (it hasn't even got a homepage). I've mail the
maintainer anyway asking if we can use the name. We'll see what he
replies with.
