As Klaus pointed out, you only need to add your language to Semantic.

I recommend joining the cedet-devel mailing list off the cedet
project though.  Near the end of the Semantic 1.4 release, David
Ponce had developed a new parser-generator based on Bison.  A side
effect is that the language file is a little different.  The spiffy
effect is that you can just take an IDL Bison or Yacc grammar, and
port it directly.

Grammars written for the existing parser in semantic will move with
only minor changes to semantic 2.0, but you may have fun working in
the 2.0 build tree anyway.  As developers of semantic's core, we also
benefit watching the comments and questions from users trying to build
new grammars.

Have fun
Eric
