Summary
=======
Autogen[1] is a tool designed to simplify the creation and maintenance of
programs that contain large amounts of repetitious text.
It is especially valuable in programs that have several blocks of text that
must be kept synchronized.
This utility can also be called a code generator, which are programs that
automatically generate high level code (e.g. C, C++, C#, Java, Perl, Python,
Ruby, etc.). These tools range in size and complexity from simple code
parsers to fully featured class and tier builders.
Because the implementation of Autogen used guile[2](GNU's extension
language) and guile is not available now in SFW consolidation, so we decide
to merge guile porting work together into this case.
Guile[2] is a library designed to help programmers create flexible
applications. Using Guile in an application allows programmers to write
plug-ins or modules so the application fit their needs.
Autogen-5.9 will be integrated into the SFW consolidation as part of this
proposal, and will be installed as SUNWautogen.
Guile-1.8.4 will be integrated into the SFW consolidation as part of this
proposal, and will be installed as SUNWguile
This project requests a minor release binding.
