The new Felix grammar system is now available from svn trunk head.

Two upgrades have been done. First you can write:

        nt1 := nt2;

which just means

        nt1 := nt2 =># "_1";

and you can write:

        nt1 := blag bla =># "str"
        | foo bar ># ".."
        ;

that is, use the | symbol to start new productions for the
same nonterminal. The | is allowed in the first rule too.

The second upgrade is you can write:

        syntax dssl { requires fred, joe; .. }

The requires clause specifies a dependency. If dssl
is loaded with

        open syntax dssl;

then fred and joe will be loaded too. Recursion is 
permitted. The transitive closure is loaded, minus
what is already loaded. This means you cannot load
a DSSL twice into the same context.
