There's no real documentation on the front-end interface other than
the source itself.  c-*.c, cp/*.c ch/*.c f/*.c are the c, c++, chill
and fortran front-ends.  You'll probably want to read them a little.

You'll also want to understand tree.h and tree.def and some of the
code in tree.c.

There's more, but that should get you started.
