Fusion Of Stratego And XT

In StrategoRelease08 an extension of Stratego with concrete syntax is provided. This extension requires a tighter integration with SDF and several of the XT tools. In effect, this has resulted in the dependency of Stratego on a large part of the XT packages. Therefore, a Stratego distribution can no longer be built without these packages.

Starting with StrategoRelease09, the Stratego and XT source trees (and CVS repositories) have been merged into StrategoXT.

The distribution of the ATermLibrary and the SDF tools (parser generator and sglr) have been factored out of the StrategoXT distribution, because (1) these packages are produced by the CWI group, (2) the development is independent, (3) the functionality of ATermLibrary and SDF is quite stable from the perspective of Stratego, i.e., not every Stratego distribution needs a new ATerm and SDF distribution.
