[Swift-devel] New parsing tool for swift.properties

[Michael Wilde]

was: Re: [Swift-devel] changes

I think this tool (Typesafe config) looks promising; I would try it.

Once you have a property parser in Swift/K, that can be readily turned 
into a standalone Java command to run for Swift/T, if/when needed, which 
can emit Tcl or whatever other flat propoerty format is needed.

Sound reasonable?
