I have not really followed this discussion, but here is a tip:
http://bnfc.digitalgrammars.com/

It seams to support the following languages:
Haskell, Ocaml, Java, C, C++,

Transforming code from a functional language to Scheme seams easier than
transforming from a non-functional language.

I do not know if it does what you need though.
