BLD -> XML

Hello,

This is in fulfillment of what was asked of me during this morning's
telecon regarding making the previous version of my BLD -> XML translator
available while waiting for the new version I am working on now as the
BLD syntax evolves. You will find a Java bundle along with documentation
for download at:

   http://wikix.ilog.fr/wiki/pub/Main/HassanAitKaci/ilog.rif-bld-v0.zip

Please note that:

1. The version of the PS BNF used for this version of the BLB->XML
   translation was the one that was current at the time (May 2008)
   and does not include the abbreviation that have been introduced
   since then in the PS.

2. The documentation provided has links to BLD documents that have
   now evolved and do not reflect the exact BNF that I encoded then.
   There was no previously frozen version that I could find that 
   contains the pertinent BLD EBNF for me to link to.

3. The generated parser supports only the basic PS (with the few caveats
   explained in the doc).

After retrieving the bundle, unzip it someplace and visit the file
StartHere.hml (also attached along this mail).

Again, as soon as the various current issues concerning the new syntax
have been resolved, I will gladly update this bundle acordingly into a
new version.

Please take a look and try running the examples as explained so
that I make sure at least that the bundle has no missing files.
