Hmmmm.  TransMogrifier.  There's another unrelated
programme by that same name (with acronym TMG)-- a
source-to-source compiler-compiler.  Apparently, it
was done at Steven's Institute of Technology, and
was at one time used as a first cut at creating
various compilers, especially bootstrap compilers.
I have no idea whether it has been redone for the PC
world.

John.
