Actually, I'm currently putting the finishing touches on a JRuby (pure
JRuby, no Java code) version of parsetree
(well, actually something that outputs the same nested lists as the
original parsetree; porting the C code of parsetree isn't possible).

I'm currently trying to get parsetree 1.6s testsuite to complete (50
failures to go) - and I believe there are some places where there are
some differences between JRuby/CRuby ... notably on the :dasgn/:lasgn
AST nodes.  (Mind you: these might just be my own stupid errors).

I can provide a preliminary version if someone wants to, but I'd rather
minimize the number of failures and provide some samples before going
public.
