I don't know of anything that will help with this in the short term,
but I have thought a little bit about how I might be able to modify
Octave to allow people to write add-on code to walk Octave's parse
trees and generate anything they want, given the information available
in the tree.

Currently, the built-in `type' function does something like this, but
it isn't implemented in a way that is extensible and it doesn't handle
comments.  Handling comments in the parse tree may actually turn out
to the the hardest part of doing this, but I have some ideas about how
to do that as well.

If anyone is interested in working on this, please let me know.

Thanks,
