Yes, I already did that. Sorry if my initial mail two days back was too 
verbose, probably you did not see it :-) The result of running ANTLR was 
a huge java file, with lots of definitions for follow-sets (many 
thousands) and dfa-transitions. The follow-sets issue I resolved with a 
perl script (by moving them into a set of static initializer functions), 
but the dfa-transitions look a little tricky to move around with perl, 
so javac still cannot compile the parser.

If you think it's feasible to change the corresponding string templates 
for a string template newbie (me), I would really appreciate if you 
could tell me which parts I need to take care of.


Thanks a lot!
