I looked at the code myself and agree with both of your conclusions. I was disappointed that it didn't just use the "standard" tools since there's a possibility that buildtool might have been able to handle it if it had.

Ah, you found the code. I had a look, but it seemed to be a massive tangle of frameworks, and I gave up looking for the relevant parts. A lot of people seem to like TextMate, so it might be nice to have a decent port. Objective-C++ is fine - LanguageKit uses Objective-C++ and it works nicely with GNUstep, but the build system for TextMate looks like it would be a lot of work to port.
