You should remove as most as possible any syntax in the scripter that 
the Gambas language does not understand. Otherwise it's two different 
languages, and so it's a huge mess.

Hopefully, I can add support for the "EXTERN CLASS" syntax in the Gambas 
language, as it is backward compatible, and you will be able to use it 
in scripts too without having to implement anything.
