Thanks for the recommendations Tom. I've now got Friedl, and there's a dead-tree copy of 'Compilers' making its gradual way to me (no ebook). I've also been reading the article series by Russ Cox linked upthread -- it's good stuff. Are you far enough into the backrefs bug that you'd prefer to see it through, or would you like me to pick it up?
