Propose a UI for the ParseTreeSearcher and Rewriter

patterns.

Third we could add the one mark.

Yes I should try to find some times to migrate yuriy's tool first.

[Ducasse]

This is what Sebastian is doing and this is really nice.
In spec2 and we should review his code and integrate it to NewTools.

[Ducasse]

This is done we should integrate in new tools the version done by Sebastian Jordamont.

There is some tool in the system... which needs improvement, but that is another issue.
