Quite some time ago (while I was still at uni) I worked on a source-to-
source translator implemented using a system called GENTLE (http://
gentle.compilertools.net/) which made this job very straightforward.
For the lexing and parsing stage it uses lex and yacc, but for tree
traversal it has its own rule based language. I see that it has been
maintained over the years, so it might still be worthwhile to have a
quick look.
