Actually, you can output an AST without adding a tree parser to 
your project, so you don't necessarily have to add a source 
file.  Just depends on whether you want to do the tree parsing 
directly in your driver code or in another grammar file.  (Each 
approach has its own advantages and disadvantages; just depends on 
what you're doing with it.)
