Extracting lexicalized reordering tables shouldn't be a problem. Data files and word alignment are given. Note also that phrase tables exist only for one direction. For the other direction you will need to swap phrases, scores and word alignments. But this is easy as well.
Tokenization is a bit more tricky. In some cases I use the tree tagger for pre-processing to get better tagging results. Otherwise, it's mainly the Moses tokenizer with some additional exceptions and smaller changes. Good point that I should document this more carefully. The question remains, should I leave the alignment files online or is it not useful for anyone anyway?
