Yes, it is. There so many changes in StrategoXT, that we have to
change a lot of things in transformers to follow.

We have discussed of that, and we decided to not distribute any
generated files. But, if help2man is not so popular on every
distribution, it will make us change our opinion.

Sorry, i forgot. It was added in the requirement of cxx-grammar, but
not in the bundle.

We used to developped using the svn version of StrategoXT. But for
this release we used StrategoXT 0.9.5.

Argh. It does not work at all.

Normally, it must work. The generated parse table must be wrong. What
"pp-aterm -i /pkg/transformers/2004-04-20-16-38/share/cxx-grammar/Cxx.tbl"
says? It is very strange that sglr stop at the 7th charater, which is
not so special.

This one is not supposed to work because we have still some troubles
with iostream, it is the aim of the next release.

I think it is because you used the svn version of StrategoXT, well, i hope.
