Re: [abc] AOSD paper

Shall I fill in section 2 (design of abc, Polyglot, Soot)? Is about
a page appropriate (we're allowed 12 altogether), including a small
diagram? I'd mainly follow the stuff we said at IBM, with extra focus
on how it affects extensibility (how Polyglot lets you extend the
AST/typesystem, and how Soot has analyses and analysis writing tools
that may be useful in extensions).
