I'll see if I can take a look at it sometime after work...

No, sorry, only in passing.  I did teach a "Concepts of Programming"
languages class at UNC so I know about parse trees in general, but
as far as actually applying them to gcc I wouldn't have any clue.

(Hmmm... I guess my wife is good friends with Bruce Tiemann [they're
both life members of the International Jugglers Association], brother
of Micheal Tiemann who wrote a lot of GCC, but that's about as close
as I come to knowing GCC internals, and that isn't any.)

Good luck finding someone.
