[antlr-interest] Flattening lists?

Hi all,
Not sure if this is something that should be obvious or not, but is there a
way, completely in ANTLR 3.x (C backend FWIW), to flatten a list of
"things"? What I mean is, say I have a language I'm trying to parse with
constructs something like this:
// Declare a bunch of variables.
int varA, varB, varC;
Now, it's pretty straightforward to convert this via lexer->parser->tree
parser into:
(VAR_DECL int (INITIALIZER varA) (INITIALIZER varB) (INITIALIZER
varC))
But is there a way to get this instead?:
(VAR_DECL int varA) (VAR_DECL int varB) (VAR_DECL int varC)
Of course once I have the AST I can traverse it with C &&/|| C++, but it
would sure be nice if ANTLR was able to flatten these sort of constructs for
me.
Thanks,
