Command line utilities will stay, since the tools are now very
modular, the "master CLI tool" will be very simple in it's
construction too.
However, the tools now require a much more full-fletched C++ compiler
than previously, with support for exceptions, inheritence etc. and the
STD library (while the previous tools barely qualified for C with
classes). I'm quite certain almost all compilers will be able to
handle it.
