I looked a bit closer at this now and from reading how its working it
seems quite nice. There is a downside though: The generation of the
parser from the grammar will happen only manually. There are two
reasons:

a) Coco/R is I think seldomly installed
b) I don't see how I can write a find-macro for it, without major
problems depending on the distro. Finding the binary is not really a
problem, but unfortunately Coco/R expects the templates for the classes
to be in the current directory or passing their proper position as
commandline arguments. This would mean something like

find_file( Parser.frame PATHS
   /usr/share
   /usr/share/coco-cpp
   /usr/lib/coco-cpp
   ....
   )

Not to mention the possibility of copying the frames into some private
dir..
