I would like to take a look at the c/c++ version and then decide what I
want to write in Ada (e.g. Text IO is very slow (at least in older Ada
versions)). Ada has got very good c interfacing capabilities.
Sometimes our project [1] is dealing with very huge files (have seen a
130KLoc file) and therefor the speed of the generated lexer is the
most interesting point.

I will try the svn version.
