I hacked VM 5.18 to read BABYL files at one point, but never got around to
porting it when it stopped working.  If you (or anyone else) would like to
start from there, I can give it to you.  The file ~emacs/etc/BABYL contains
a rough BNF of the format.

(And in my humble (but correct) opinion, BABYL is a much more sane format 
than the "From " format...)
