On the subject, a recent paper suggested that relatively straightforward syntactic transducers from HLL to HLL are easy to produce, and effective in practice. By the way, there is a startup firm in Pittsburgh called Lexeme [a spin off from Unilogic, a spin off from CMU...] that specializes in HLL to HLL translators. -- Mark Tucker
