MSP430 Application Compiler

Now, I'm not talking about compiling C code. Microchip and Atmel might already have this. Not sure about TI.

Here's the idea. You get the user to describe his application in words and you use a parser to tell him what components he needs to put his system together. Of course, you're encouraged to stick to a certain syntax and limited vocabulary. For example.

Pressure sensor interfaced to MSP430, connected wirelessly to PC through USB.

Now, the parser can tell him he can just use the EZ430-RF200 demo kit, suggest some I2C based pressure sensors, etc. Childishly simple.
