I'm not sure I can agree with this.  C++ still seems so incompatible 
between compilers; there is nothing but chatter about why people can't 
get the ANTLR C++ output to work with their compiler. ;)

True, but that says nothing about the language antlr is written 
in...that's output runtime stuff. :)  (the goto stuff we're talking 
about I presume).

Plus, antlr is a much better product with garbage collection as a whole 
host of bugs go away. :)

Thanks,
Ter
