Hi Torsten, glad to see you, I had a quick look at your texi2latex.
BTW do you know Perl?

My parser throws comments away by default, although it would be very
easy to subclass it and override parse_c to add Comment nodes to the
AST. Macros don't show up there either, they are expanded via
recursive parsing and again it's just a matter of overriding the
parse_end_macro method.

Whoa, that's how it's done?!

Is speed important? makeinfo --html seems a lot more instantaneous
than I need. Perl plus multimethods (via Damian Conways'
Class::Multimethods) surely won't beat C.
