I've thought about it.  Parsing C into tree form isn't
that hard.  It's the type system and the ABI that I'm
still wrestling with.  C is actually quite a deal more
complex than it looks.  I've got some other fish to
fry first before I can tackle this.

Adding Perl support to treecc shouldn't be hard, but I'm
not much of a Perl guy so someone else would need to
look into it.

It's primarily a matter of adding a "gen_perl.c" file to
the source to output Perl code from the parsed treecc
definition.

Cheers,

Rhys.
