  Why changing something that works? It was long to set,
but now it does
 not need so much maintaining. It is good to have a build farm that
 check each packages, reading the logs is easier. 
I'm sorry, but it is not my view that it is working: with Alexandre we
lost almost 1 man-day because the C grammar he thought he was using
(the one in the src tree) was not the one that was used (the last one
to be installed).  In addition it is common knowledge that the
Autotools are *very* costly to run: any improvement of the working
cycle in the Tfers project is an healthy move.

I might agree for the removal of *some* indirections instead of all of
them, but as is as of today, it is ridiculous --- you can't justify so
many packages.

I propose 3 sub packages:

- StrategoXTensions
      boxedsdf
      esdf
      sdf-astgen
      sdf-attribute
      sdf-detgen
      sdf-option
      str-lazy

- C Grammars
      c-condition
      c-grammar

- C++ Grammars
      cxx-basic
      cxx-grammar
      specs-grammar
