Wave is a preprocessor library (well in fact, it's a preprocessing lexer),
which can be used to preprocess and tokenize IDL input as well. It's by no
means a parser, but you can use it to build your own parser as it exposes a
pair of iterators, which when dereferenced gives you the tokenized input.
Wave itself has an example demonstrating the use of the library for IDL
preprocessing ($BOOST_ROOT/libs/wave/samples/waveidl).
