Might work, unless your model happens to use inheritance, in which case 
not without adding support for inheritance to LoL.

The version of hairiepub that is in that repo probably does not build. 
The whole thing is in a big state of flux right now, and has never been 
released anyway.

Well, pulling pre-alpha software and expecting it to work out-of-the-box 
  is a little crazy.

I don't know what post you are refering to, but the likely reason nobody 
has answered it is because it is not a "smart question". See 
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html for details about 
what i mean.

Also, when someone gives you a good detailed answer, responding as you 
did to this one will probably piss them off enough to not care about 
your problems anymore.

you're welcome.
