Hi Rodrigo,

I've been looking antlr software and it looks great. But your software
must be linked against its runtime. I've also see your project at the
showcase section and was wondering if you don't see a problem that antlr
forces you to link your project against its runtime? 

Our projects needs to run on Windows and GNU/Linux platform as well so,
i think using antlr software adds some troubles to your problem. Did you
test your Boo language enviroment on windows?

Maybe I'm wrong and antlr has some mode to generate scanners and lexers
in a way your software keeps independent from antlr. Can you tell me
about your experience on this ?

Thanks in advantage!
