I'm glad to see someone take on (re)development of the sequencer.  The past 
history is in a subversion repository at https://svn.aps.anl.gov/epics/sncseq 
with a Trac instance at https://svn.aps.anl.gov/trac/epics/sncseq although the 
Trac wiki is almost empty so it's currently only useful for browsing.  There 
have been several changes committed to the repo since the last release so I 
would encourage you to take a look at it.  I can give you an account for write 
access to our svn and Trac, but I'd be willing to transfer the ownership and 
point everything to your site if you'd prefer that (but I would ask if you 
could add a history browser so it's possible to browse the repository changes 
without having to install darcs).

I'd never come across re2c or lemon before, they look very interesting and the 
licensing is ideal.  I'd *really* like to see something like them written in 
Perl though (but still generating C/C++ code)...
