Well, so how about un-special-casing the existing machinery a bit? It's
quite exactly the same job that needs to be done, so at the very least,
the existing yacc/lex handling code could serve as a template. With a
bit of good look, the end result might be that yacc, lex and vala are
all just triggering a single, shared implementation, which can also be
made available for generic usage by other source-code generating tools.
