Hi Andrew,
Actually, I am very impressed with what Kay and Xihui have accomplished. My frustration with the inability to convince Kay that there is a memory management problem in CSS/BOY as well as not being able to get practical information on how to get fixes in a timely fashion that Xihui was making on my request, reached the point that I started complaining. I agree that it is probably not productive to do that.
I apologize for offending, which was not my intension.

Hi Zen,
I can understand your frustration that CSS/BOY doesn't meet your requirements,
but for a tool that is only 14 months old (the first commit was on July 21,
2009) I think Xihui and Kay have done an amazing job and I thank them for
contributing this code to the EPICS collaboration. Berating the author(s) of
a Free/Open Source project is rarely productive, and remember that's Free as
in libre, not necessarily gratis.
We are all constrained by limited budgets and management priorities, maybe you
could help out by starting to write some of the documentation for newcomers
that you feel is missing as you work out how to check out and build BOY. As
Kay just said it is a standard CSS/Eclipse plugin whose source code is in the
Mercurial repository on SourceForge with the rest of CSS. The CSS Wiki would
be an ideal location for that kind of documentation.
