Unfortunately that doesn't really help him much. He's still left hanging with actually analyzing the code.

I've got a code contribution that will convert ripper output into unified ParseTree-compatibile output, but I haven't gotten around to integrating it. I think I'm probably going to use it to sanity check my parser as I add 1.9 compatibility to it.
