  Description     : Gwydion Dylan Development Tools

 CMU's Gwydion Dylan provides d2c, a Dylan-to-C batch compiler. It produces
 fairly efficient output but requires strange incantations to compile even
 simple programs. Tools for interfacing with C are included. (The Mindy
 bytecode interpreter is available as a separate package.) If you're really
 excited about writing Dylan programs for Linux--and don't mind the
 inconveniences of d2c--these are the tools to use. If you prefer a mature
 development environment, try another language.
 .
 This package contains the tools necessary to recompile d2c. They
 include a LISP to Dylan translator, a parser generator, and various
 tools for maintaining the build tree. This package also contains a
 few general-purpose development utilities written in Dylan.

Orphaned for too long and disappeared.  Upstream requested my help to
bring the package up to snuff and get it back into the pool.
