It's a shot in the dark, but what about OSF's ANDF format? It is much
higher level than GNU RTL, but does it keep enough of the source code
struture to be useful? Possibly. I've been out of this loop for some time
but I looked into it a year and a half ago. It should be fairly standard
by now.

[I believe that ANDF is quite low level, considering that one of its goals
is to make it difficult to reverse-engineer compiled programs. And does
anyone actually use it? -John]
