Summary: spirit based parser for c++?

Initial Comment:
is there any project/effort concerning a spirit based
parser for the C++ language?
If there isn't, it would be appreciated if we could
start such an effort, even a restricted solution is
better than none at all. At least we could eventually
improve on the existing solution.
I would think the following link might be helpful for
such an effort:

That's an inherently complex job, several people people have
tried it already, check the archives for earlier postings
about this. To no avail.
Basically, spirit (in its current form) is probably not
necessarily the ideal tool for such a complex language as C++. 
On the other hand, it would of course be cool to have
something like this based on spirit in order to show
spirit's power ;-) In particular given the lack of a decent
freely available parser for C++.
Maybe the existing attempts (as mentioned on the mailing
list) could be committed to cvs (i.e. a contrib) directory
so that people could still get to work on it eventually,
that way we might end up one day with a corresponding spirit
parser for C++
Anyway, it's certainly a non-trivial task and I am afraid
spirit would need to be seriously enhanced in order to make
it a feasible basis for such an effort.
