S2: progress!

I've written the front-end and most the tokenizer of the S2 compiler. Programming is the easy part... most my time today was getting all the tools installed, downloading the documentation, learning jmk, etc...

I'll start releasing what I have so far in a couple of days. All the code will be available under the GPL.

I'm going to be writing two backends: Perl (LiveJournal specific, likely) tand HTML (for pretty-printing). Once I get those mostly functional, I'd like to get some ASP, PHP, and Servlet backends started. The interface between the backends is perfectly clean (I love Java. :-)) so it should be pretty easy.

I'll be javadoc'ing my code, and maintaining an EBNF of the S2 grammar, both of which I'll make available in a few days.

Damn it feels good to stop doing sysadmin stuff. :-) I seriously need to find somebody to take over that job for me.... I don't enjoy it at all.
