Why donīt you look at what Perl and Python interpreters do?

In truth itīs already a "multicompiler", it accepts multiple parsers 
generating trees for the sole code generator. Miguel and Ravi work mainly in 
the C# parser and the code generator.
Iīve made the parsers base-class (GenericParser.cs) and Iīm working now in 
the MonoBASIC parser (a superset of VB.NET).

This project is a "this will last for centuries" project.

The two parsers in use are jay-generated, jay being a yacc derivative 
originally implemented for java and adapted by Miguel.
