RE: [photran-dev] Packaging question

As far as the features that package support for a specific vendor's
compiler, such as the Intel feature or the IBM Xlf feature, if you were
a Fortran compiler vendor who wanted to use Photran as a framework to
base an ide for your compiler upon, having the support for other vendors
compilers easily removable would be of value.  This is similar to the
change in the CDT framework recently to repackage the GNU tool support
in separate features.  Not all vendors building products based on CDT
wanted the GNU tool support included in their products.

If you are a user who doesn't use the Intel Fortran compiler or IBM Xlf
compiler, then you don't need the support for them in your Eclipse
configuration.

Subject: [photran-dev] Packaging question

photran appears to be made of 3 features:
org.eclipse.photran_feature
org.eclipse.photran.vpg_feature
org.eclipse.photran.xlf_feature

Does it make sense to package these independently at all?  What are the 
dependencies?  Would you ever want photran_feature without vpg or xlf?

Thanks!
