I thought about it a bit more, but it really is something that should be
build into Antlr itself. I mean, parsing the file and creating
emacs-mode code from it instead of java code should be more trivial than
creating a elisp function that parses the antlr source from scratch.
But I'll think about it. Thanks for your reply.
