For what it is worth he also hacks on KDevelop and a version of the  
preprocessor and parser also exists there (this isn't the old KDE 3  
KDevelop stuff, but the stuff in KDE for KDE4's KDevelop and it is a  
little different as the KDE devs have messed around with it).  It  
uses QLALR a LALR(1) parser generator,  which is fast and tiny.
