Not fun. There are 3 JastAdd frontends, and there is the legacy Polyglot 
one too. :(

Do we have a sound reason to keep Polyglot? JastAddJ has a 1.4 backend 
too. If we're stuck having to handle many JastAdd front-ends, we might 
as well go all the way and slash Polyglot :)
AFAIK, Polyglot is unmaintained and that makes it a a long-term 
liability IMHO.
