add getCompiler and getLinker methods, to abstract from XSD.
add calc_source_md5 as it's more convenient especially for embedded
targets to add -DPLC_MD5="something" option at compile time than
to mess with editing binary.
add some more helper methods
# Beremiz #

Beremiz is an integrated development environment for machine automation. It is Free Software, conforming to IEC-61131 among other standards.

It relies on open standards to be independent of the targeted device, and let you turn any processor into a PLC. Beremiz includes tools to create HMI, and to connect your PLC programs to existing supervisions, databases, or fieldbuses.

With Beremiz, you conform to standards, avoid vendor lock, and contribute to the better future of Automation. 

See official [Beremiz website](http://www.beremiz.org/) for more information.
