That's not going to be easy if you need to support the full range if
IDL constructs. PIDL is a little Samba specific though. You might also
check out the midlc idl compiler. It very cleanly separates the parse
tree from the code that emits mashalling routines so it's definately
suited to your problem.

If you need to emit code for the full range of constructs (e.g. arrays
of unions with embeeded arrays, etc, etc) you'll probably want to start
by copying the java or samba emitter.
