If I were writing NQC from scratch, I'd agree. However, several years ago
I was writing a preprocessor and bison wasn't available to me, so I
hand-coded the parser. When NQC was started, I just reused about 90% of
this parser. Of coruse, along the way I had also put in the effort to
port Bison (and Flex) to CodeWarrior, so at this point using bison is more
practical.

Yes, one pass. Actually about 90% of the work was originally in the
preprocessor.
No, not yet. I was concentrating on getting 2.1 final, then I was going
to look pretty heavily at code genereation.
