Nope, it won't... GOC is the extension set for GEOS, and the "GOC compiler"
is sorta a single-step compiler (or precompiler) which generates object code
which then has to be compiled using BC.

The SDK _will_ allow you to develop independently in ObjectAssembler using
Esp and Glue, I believe, but as JohnM was quick to point out when I asked on
the net, they haven't exactly _documented_ this yet.  Maybe when the SDK stops
being Beta, this will be documented, but for now, the primary focus is C,
which is good since that's what "most developers" want.
