I agree with Wiljan here - a partial translation - to be completed
and cleaned up by hand - is better than none at all. I've done a lot
of ad-hoc partial translations of Pascal and Modula-2 code, mostly using
very simple stuff written in SNOBOL. This code has all been significantly
improved by hand, but the job was _much_ easier than hand-coding from
scratch.
As in so many other things, I think moderation is a virtue here.
