There's a package called 'producer', available at
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/lang/objc/nproducer-1.1.3.tar.gz.
It's fairly old (1986) but it's still a useful concept, I think. The idea is to have a preprocessor for C (Objective-C) that helps in porting the Smalltalk code to C. Basically, a Smalltalk-type messenger is added op top of C to facilitate the job of porting the ST code.
You may want to have a look at it, if only for the YACC grammar that it uses for parsing .st files.
