[Swarm-Modelling] X10 implementation

[Marcus G. Daniels]

Hi,

This may be of interest to those doing large scale agent-modelling.    
It's one the first implementations of the DARPA HPCS languages.  These 
languages are being designed to be more usable and integrated 
alternatives to MPI for parallel computing.

The way computations are composed in X10 via `clocks' is similar in some 
ways to Swarm's activities.

To build it, do a SVN checkout of the xtc and x10c modules as described 
on that page into an empty subdirectory.   Using Eclipse import that 
subdirectory.   You should get these two modules, xtc and x10c, and then 
it should build without complaint (it did for me today). 

Obviously, it's brand new and not yet mature, but I tried some test 
cases and it seems to work.
