i would suggest going the route of a pascal to C compiler (well, not a 
compiler but a translator). i'm putting the finishing touches on a shell
script that handles the conversion of tex.web to C using Dave Gillespies
p2c program. i also use csplit and sed to do some things. i've compiled
the result (i split up the resulting tex.c file into 45+ C files composed
of the various parts of TeX ... see computers and typesetting vol. 2 for
info on these parts). anyway, TeX seems to work fine, although i haven't
passed the trip test yet. i'm double checking things to make sure i haven't
done anything wrong.

i've used the initex.ch file from the web2c conversion utility as a base
for the conversion of this. i've made some modifications and it seems to
work well.
