I had the same question some time ago, and was told that the FPC parser 
is not suited for anything but compilation purposes. And to be honest, I 
couldn't even locate that parser code in the FPC sources :-(

I'm interested in essentially the same subject, since I tackled with 
PasDoc and its limited built-in parser. Another goal were a 
Modula/Oberon frontend for FPC, with improved syntax. Drop me a line if 
you think that we can cooperate on this subject.
