I think the OP was wanting to rotate a part generated by a CAD system he doesn't have 90 degrees in the XY plane. That should be pretty easy to do. I do not know of any CAD/CAM system that produces code using all the math, variable arithmetic and subroutine features of EMC's flavor of G-code.
I agree that a "general parser" that can handle any valid EMC syntax that you could throw at it could be quite a bit more difficult.
