I am just starting out with Avalon and Merlin.  Having
said that, I must say that I was surprised to see that
when I checked out Avalon sources using svn and then
built them, I also built Merlin.  I was expecting to
only build the Avalon framework supporting libraries. 
I actually went searching for how to get the merlin
sources before I googled a message about the zip
distributable for Merlin I had already built.

It seems logical to me that the Merlin container is
developed and packaged separately to the Avalon
framework.  Especially since there are other
containers available which are now maintained
separately.
