Perhaps the answer is to extract the java code generator and replace
it with a flexible set of extensibility interfaces. Hey Terrence?
All the code generators can then be rewritten against those
interfaces. As a bonus, adding additional languages would be made
considerably easier.

I would be happy to finish this if you are happy to pass on all that
has been done so far. Any docs would be appreciated.

Is this in reference to generating parsers for multiple langues on
the .NET platform or, in relation to ANTLR's code generation process.
It might be useful in the latter as I suggested above.
