I'm not a comp sci person either...  There's O'Reilly's book on Lex and
Yacc (of course it's oriented toward those two tools).  I think the Ruby
Developer's Guide has a section on Rockit - but that'll be limited to the
'frontend' parsing since there's no code generation.  The Dragon book
might be a bit to theoretical than what we need.  Also it would be nice to
find something that covers virtual machines.
