same here on the outorg site, although I'm pretty sure its more
alpha-stage. 

but since it is based on such a simple idea (-> design outline-regexp
and outline-level in a way that applying 'comment-region' and
'uncomment-region' to each line does the conversion job between Org and
whatever programming-language syntax) I hope a few bug-fixes and
improvements will move it closer towards version 1.0.

after a quick look at your code I would say that outorg and poporg are
very different beasts - the effort to merge them would probably be much
higher than to bring them both (independently) to a stable usable state. 

I will do some major changes motivated by this threat, maybe afterwards
it easier to see where the similarities and where the differences are.
