ANTLR could pretty much be used the same way as lex/yacc and others 
by utilising callback C functions. At this level 'extern "C"' 
interface would cleanly solve all your problems. There could be a 
pretty small piece of c++ code to satisfy ANTLR initialization and 
you have to acquire a limited knowledge of some ANTLR data types to 
correctly interface your callbacks, mainly the Token class.
