Gpre is currently set up to run against those header files you want to
generate as part of the build. Gdl is a nice enought data definition
language, but decidedly non-SQL. Updating that language and processor
to handle new constructs is a waste of everyone's time. Relations.h,
Fields.h, etc. are the seed for a completely bootstrap build.
