Emacs is distributed with a module that generates "railroad" syntax
diagrams from EBNF. The output is in PostScript. With a tool such as
GhostScript, you can convert the PostScript output to PNG, PDF, or any
of a wide variety of formats.
In my emacs installation (Windows 2000), the module is at the following
location:
\Program Files\emacs-21.2\lisp\progmodes\ebnf2ps.el
