Having the documentation here is helpful, but a few examples would be even more helpful.
For example, if I wanted to replicate Gary's A-B-L in the new configuration language, how would I do that? I don't see an opportunity in the language to grab info about the lisp implementation and compute a binary pathname. Is it possible to perform arbitrary computations in the configuration file? *features* is not enough to do what Gary does.
Also, one obvious extension to the existing A-B-L would be to direct different kinds of components to write the outputs of their various operations into different places. Is that possible with this framework? E.g., write C object files to a specific location, dump parenscript preprocessing outputs (javascript files) into a directory from which they will be served by the web server, etc.
A sample configuration file or two is needed before we can assess the framework.
