The b4 release didn't include the tree stuff, it wasn't done at that  
point.

Yes. The current depot version has all that. I don't know when Ter  
will cut the next release, but I could pack it up and post the link.
I'd have to include the complete ANTLR source code, though, since  
there were some changes that affect code generation. I have to try  
out the latest changes by Ter first, to make sure you can actually  
use the stuff :)

Let me add that there are a couple of rough edges to the Objective C  
runtime at this point. I've noticed a couple naming issues I want to  
resolve (mostly renaming some methods to be consistent), so be  
prepared for incompatible changes until the 3.0 release.

I'm taking a look at the state of the depot and will give you a link  
to download the most recent version.

cheers,
