I think the token analysis packages I'm in the process of releasing may serve
this purpose rather well. They should be portable to any Ada95 implementation
(Gnat, ObjectAda, and GreenHills tested so far).
Right now I have tenatively modified the source to use the gnat-customized
GPL (we need a catchier name for that) and am in the process of writing a
simple example program. I'll probably also want to make some minimal
documentation for them before initial release. Unfortunately my schedule is
already incredibly full, so I can't as yet say if it will take another week
or a month.
T.E.D.
