[antlr-interest] antlr2-C++ target patching?!

[Kieran Simpson]

I have to agree here.  I've been using the C target from within a wider 
C++ application using this process.  It's a bit fiddly keeping the code 
organised properly so that C++ constructs don't leak into the extern C 
code (via header includes) but it does result in some very modular code 
which is nice.

If you want specific details let me know.

Cheers,
