They are really the same--it's just that the two languages differ in their namespace qualifier syntax--'.' vs '::'.  C# follows Java in this, so 
I have to translate '.'s to '::'s for packages when generating C++.

Way cool!  I've almost gotten the C++ runtime for my tree stuff up and running--only one of my test cases fails.  I have about two 
weeks of down time coming up and will use that to integrate the final 2.7.3 changes and clean a few things up.  With Micheal's port of 
the C# ParseTreeDebugParser, he should be able to bring the C# runtime up very quickly for 2.8 (I know just enough C# to edit the 
code generator, but have no hands-on experience).
