Hello!
Sorry I've been AWOL... This week has been uber-busy for me.
src/tools/<eachtool> sounds good!
The tool that has a distinct Particle.cpp can be allowed to fail to compile. Given that it's my blunder, it's my obligation to take care of that. Which isn't to say you shouldn't tackle it if you're so inclined, but I've got you covered there, if you'd rather work on other things.
Very good call on -fno-exceptions!! Please go ahead and add that to the Makefile if you haven't already!
