I've tried scons. It seems pretty cool, but I'm not sure how well it
replaces configure in terms of finding all the tools to use.

I put the python23.dll in my mingw/lib directory, then added -lpython23
to LIBS in the makefile for the Cxx parser. you're supposed turn the
python23.dll into libpython23.a like this
(http://sebsauvage.net/python/mingw.html) but for some reason this
worked for me.

>Is the Cxx parser usable as a synopsis module ?

Yes! in Cxx/emul.py, there is a path containing ~ that my system didnt
like, but after removing that it worked fine, using 

synopsis.py -p Cxx -f HTML -o Paths path.h

To be honest, I want to use your Cxx parser to make a test collector in
python (http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?TestCollector). How do I call the
parser directly from a python script? using Cxx.Parser.process, I'm not
sure what to pass into as the parameter 'ast', or how to get the AST
object out.

Thanks!
