I believe you have mis-read Andreas Winckler. I think Andreas
was refering to the RCI (Remote Compilation Integrator) facility.
This facility has two part to it. The first is the customization
of a very general Ada semantic compiler. This compiler does not
produce any object code, but it does produce the semantic trees
which drive the ASIS stuff as well as the smart editor. The second
part of an RCI is the collection of scripts necessary to control
the actual target compiler. RCI customizations provide extra
"compiler models" as Andreas put it. This allows a project which
has to support several compilers to use the single Apex development
environment for all of them. This does not mean Apex only runs
on a single environment.
