[GCC-XML] gccxml newbie, some questions

I'm currently developing a lightweight (means very small and fast) binary 
component system, that's based on interface reflection rather than 
interface inheritance. This requires however, that C++ must be parsed and 
GCCXML ist just ideal for this job.

When I compiled GCCXML I saw, that there is a lot of code in the patched 
GCC from which I think, that it is not needed for GCCXML, e.g. the whole 
stuff that is generating the binary code. Wouldn't it be possible, to 
strip such code away? All code files that are not touched at all when 
compiling the C++ preprocessor could be safely striped away, along with 
all not needed header files.

Also I wonder, if it would be possible to make a library from GCCXML that 
instead of producing XML Output is providing some intermediate interface, 
that then another programm uses to generate the XML output. I ask this, 
because this would make it possible for other 3rd party programms, that 
need to parse C++ to include this library w/o having to parse the 
generated XML because the output of the parser library would be 
sufficient. XML parsing is simple, but not parsing at all is yet simpler.

Happy coding
