CableGenerator is supposed to have alot of the non-tcl-specific parts of
CableTclGenerator.  I have a development version that isn't checked into
CVS that has most of the factorization done.  I'm guessing that what you
put in CableInterpGenerator can probably just be put in CableGenerator.

It sounds like you've done some great work.  I'd love to take a look.  If
you have a place to post it, let me know in a private response to this
message (not to the list, please).  Otherwise, I can give you instructions
on uploading it to one of Kitware's servers.
