	To second what someone else said, ANTLR is very good at the abstract syntax 
tree sort of stuff. I worked with them back when they were PCCTS (Purdue 
Compiler Constructor Tool Set) and met the designer one day here in Denver as 
he was passing through. It started out as a graduate thesis and evolved into 
a commercial company.

	I'm not sure to what extent the code is still open source, although last I 
knew it was done in the typical way of a lot of commercial open source. 
Download and use it, no problem, you pay for commercial support.
