adl2boy Converter

Introduction

This tool converts the .adl files from MEDM into a .opi file for BOY. This conversion is performed by first parsing the .adl file and creating a model that contains references to all of the elements of the ADL file. The resulting model of the .adl file is then converted into an AbstractWidgetModel for BOY which is then written out by the normal file save methods of boy.
