These have been a pain in the ass since TAMER began.
It seemed like a good idea at the time to have static code generated in this
way, but the lack of explicit dependencies just makes this a mess and works
against the operating theory of the system.
Furthermore, the _same_ static fragments were generated for each and every
map package.
There is still a post-link step (standalones) handled in XSLT; the
previously-static code has been moved there. This will eventually be
integrated into tameld itself, once TAMER has facilities for JS generation.
(This was discovered while trying to parent identifiers to packages.)

RSG (Ryan Specialty Group) recently announced a rename to Ryan Specialty (no
"Group"), but I'm not sure if the legal name has been changed yet or not, so
I'll wait on that.
TAMER rejects this, because we shouldn't be using anything but UTF-8. My
use of this encoding is ancient, from over a decade ago, that was apparently
just copied around.

All systems should be using the provided Makefile, so this shouldn't be
invoked anymore. The new linker is still considered a proof-of-concept, but
bugs have been encountered in the old one that are not worth investing the
time into fixing.
The new linker has been used in production for nearly a couple months and is
functioning properly.
This now uses year ranges, which I'll update annually.
This also renames "R-T Specialty" to "Ryan Specialty Group". The latter is
the parent company of the former. I was originally employed under the
former when LoVullo Associates was purchased, by I now work for the parent
company.
(Copyright headers will be added in the next commit; these are the
original files, unaltered in any way.)
The internal project name at LoVullo is simply "Calc DSL". This
liberates the entire thing. If anything was missed, I'll be added
later.
To continue building at LoVullo with this move, symlinks are used for
the transition; this is the exact code that is used in production.
There is a lot here---over 25,000 lines. Much of it is in disarray from
the environment surrounding its development, but it does work well for
what it was intended to do.
(LoVullo folks: fork point is 65723a0 in calcdsl.git.)
