I believe some automated code-generation was used yes.
Yes. When they found a problem in the resulting code, instead of editing it, they edited the translator and made another run of the whole translation. This cycle they repeated many times till they were unable to find problems on the result - problem that were not also present in the original code, that is, but problems due to the translation, that is. Thus I hope that the ruby code is good enough for human writers now ;-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
