Description

Create an AST Builder library as per the specification at: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GroovyJSR/GEP+2+-+AST+Builder+Support

Attached is version 1 of the patch. One test files from Ant but not IDEA, as described on the mailing list.

Any remaining open issues are marked with todo comments in source

I'd like to get a review on the code before checking in.

Is everything in the correct package?
Is the AstBuilderTransformation transformation written correctly?
