What an coincidence... I started doing the same ;) The idea was on my mind 
for many months now, but finally I've started to do something real.. I 
decided to create (from scratch) library for this purpose. The road is 
quite long, and I have made only first few steps, so I do not expect 
anything usable this year, but who knows ;) Some time ago I made some small 
mockup project using lex/yacc, but they turned out to be too limited, and 
my small 'project' stalled for a while. Finally, I started to evaluate 
Antlr, and it seems, that it is powerful enough to get this task done.. 
Yesterday I have finished reading Antlr book, so over next weeks I'll try 
to do some simple C parser and see how this is going..
