This post grew out of another post in templating
hereBut its probably a good candidate for discussion here.

So long as PERL is still around... (cant see it changing for TST/WF for a while), then I agree that a more complete/efficient API should be available.
It would be of great benefit.
It seems that there is always some sort of involved customisation done and iterative calls to commands like iwextattr and iwpt_compile can leave users waiting around.
I understand that alot of the development CLT are CLT and wrapped in PERL to make them more portable, but seeing these CLTs have to be compiled anyway, PERL/XS equivalents would be such a great help to our developments.
I am a little confused with the CS API as I believe it is quite complete. But I dont see how I can tie it into templating and workflow.
