Dear Ralf, Peter, Ralf: I'm CC'ing this to Peter to keep him motivated. I hope you don't mind.

Unfortunately, I cannot "extend". :-( That's the bit for Peter :-) Ralf: don't you think you could check in what you have so far? Or, more importantly, are you branching from trunk or from axiom-port? In fact, couldn't axalcomp be a separate project, that we use in combinat? In that case, I suggest I move my species-related modifications (i.e., only the aldor part) from axiom-port to trunk, if that's ok for you?
