Styx is a scanner and parser generator designed to address some shortcomings of the traditional lex/yacc combination. 

It has unique features like automatic derivation of depth grammar, production of the derivation tree including it's C interface which provides access to the abstract syntax tree, preservation of full source information and pretty printing to faciliate source-source translation, persistence to aid rapid interpreter writing.

Bouncing this out of my queue... I stick to portage for the most part

Doesn't look like the package has seen much development since 2004 (admittedly December though). Is the upstream still alive?

Yes, the upstream is alive. I personally know the developer of the package and i could say: the development is not dead. It would be great if Styx could become a part of gentoo linux.

I really could write an ebuild for the next version of Styx too...
