    They come w/ EOModeler and friends in the dev tools. I believe Xcode
    plugin uses them also.

    For what it's worth, I "strongly urged" Daryl to leave those
    frameworks specifically for EOGenerator. Whether I matter or not is
    an entirely different issue :)

    My only reason for porting miscmerge is that i don't want to rewrite
    all my crazy cool eogenerator templates :), but yeah, we could use
    Velocity like WOLips templates use, too.
