It looked like antlr will produce a C# parse as well.  That may be a
good project to check out as well.  That would require java to generate
the parser, but the generated parser could be checked in as is in C#, so
only a dev would need java, not people building out of svn.

There is no silver bullet.  Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
