Welcome to the Croak technology preview!

Croak is an initial (somewhat crippled) implementation of the CROquet
Architecture Kernel.  Its purpose is to bootstrap a very powerful system for
describing software architectures (amongst which will be the 'real'
implementation of Croak).  It is the second 'stepping stone' along the path
to Paradise.  The first 'stepping stone' is a simplified Croak compiler that
allows Croak to be written in itself (and is included within this release
for your bootstrapping pleasure).

Note that this is a technology preview: if you can figure out how to use it,
great!  If not, you are pretty much on your own.  No support of any kind
will be provided, and we reserve the right to change absolutely anything at
any time with neither warning nor justification.

Finally, we apologise for not being able to include a few really useful
things that we rely on heavily in-house for Croak development (such as an
Emacs mode with pretty colours and highlighting) because they are infected
with a particularly malicious virus called "GPL".  (The only thing worse
than a closed-source license is an "open-source" license that first
significantly restricts your rights to use some given software any way you
want, then proceeds to infect mercilessly every other program that you adapt
to work with that software.)
