http://www.mckae.com/avatox.html -- "Avatox (Ada, Via Asis, To Xml) is
an application that traverses one or more Ada compilation units and
outputs the ASIS representation of the unit(s) as an XML document. The
resulting XML document(s) can then have an XSL stylesheet applied in
turn." And you can use an XSL stylesheet to generate code.

Another application in the same space is my ASIS2XML --
