Hmm, doesn't seem to be taken, at least in Debian ...
Perhaps we could use this then?
Objections, anyone?
Matthias, would it be ok for Debian?
I do not understand why you press for very short name. Such name is typically meanigless (for me "cgp" is meanigless), and as I wrote hard to search for. I would say that a person who do not want to type three additional characters in program name is likely to drop Pascal for a language where `begin' is repleced by a single character.
For me `gpmake' sounds almost perfect. I have a checked various languages and most do not try to use very short names. In fact I have a bunch of `xmake' programs which either generate makefiles or work as make replacement for a given language. `gpbuild' probably sound a bit better for new users, but `gpmake' is more accurate. AFAIKS the concept of "making" is widely known -- even if plain `make' is not useful for given language.
