This is just a little update to let everybody know that the major changes
I'v been working on over the last two weeks are now checked in. I still
need to put a lot of work into documentation, and do some cleanup (e.g.
fix unit tests as the changes I made to the AST incure changes to the
dump format used by some of the tests).

The most important change is the enhanced handling of comments, and
in particular, better support for javadoc markup, as well as added
support for restructured text (the latter requiring the not-yet-standard
docutils module).

Also, I'v imported the latest version of omniORB's omniidl into the
synopsis repository, so the IDL parser is now builtin, and doesn't
require any external packages to be installed.

I'm planning to upload a release candidate once the cleanup is done,
but current snapshots should give you a good idea what the release
will look like. Please try it out and provide feedback !

(Reminder: in the context of the upcoming release I'm always talking
  about the 'Synopsis_0_8' branch, not the trunk !)
