Acknowledgments for the 0.4 distribution.

The Marlais interpreter was started as a quick implementation by Brent
Benson (Brent.Benson@mail.csd.harris.com), who wanted an
implementation of Dylan to experiment with.  The first version was
churned out in a short period of time (weeks) by Brent.

I first happened upon Marlais in Version 0.3 (Nov. 1993).  I wanted to
use it as a language vehicle for a small portion of a course in
Object-Oriented Programming I taught in the spring of 1994 at the
University of Florida.  I realized there were some limitations to the
system, but that Marlais was very accessible and modifiable.  I hacked
in the features that I wanted to use, but then got interested in the
language in a more serious way.

I embarked on systematically adding Dylan Design Note changes in about
May of 1994.  I contacted Brent and told him about my efforts.  I said
I'd be glad to produce a Version 0.4 of the interpreter.  Brent said
he was glad to have someone breathe new life into the project.  Later
in the month, Patrick Beard (beard@cs.ucdavis.edu) started contributing
numerous suggestions and corrections (esp. w.r.t. porting to Mac) that I
incorporated into the current Marlais version.  Brent and
Bri Carlstrom (bdc@ai.mit.edu) also provided helpful porting feedback.
