Yes! Take a look at lib/Frontend/RewriteObjC.cpp. It uses the Rewriter
library to take a fully-parsed AST for an ObjC program and turn it into C++.

Also, have a look at the CompilerInstance and CompilerInvocation classes
from the Frontend library. They will really come in handy for setting up
your environment.
