None that I know of. You may have a look at this list archives, because 
several people tried this throughout the last year, but the patches 
never made it into a mainstream.

That's what I recommend. We would also welcome any contributions.

Moreover, depending on your needs you may want to focus on a smaller 
subject of functionality factored out into OpenC++Core library. It has 
significantly simplified build process, so if its functionality is 
enough for you (parser, DOM, analyzer + you can define translation by 
deriving from AST visitors; basically the framework top that calls 
different compilers is stripped off), I would recommend approaching 
OpenC++Core instead.
