Hi Lothar,

Note that people in the Eiffel community would be more interested
in being able to have a look at your SmallEiffel variant and give
it a try, rather than having to hear your whines about Eiffel.

The general structure of Ace files is described in ETL2. An Ace
file for hello_world would look like that:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
system

	hello_world

root

	HELLO_WORLD: make

cluster

	root_cluster: "."
	all kernel: "$GOBO/library/free_elks"

end
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The keyword "all" is probably not explained in ETL2. It means that
the cluster is traversed recursively down to its subdirectories.
